UK-based Dynisma has announced the opening near Bristol, England, of a new 15,000-ft² Technology Campus, marking the latest stage in the company’s ongoing expansion as demand continues to accelerate for driving simulators from both automakers and motorsport teams. It reports that multiple international supply agreements with well-known global brands have created more than 40 new jobs at the company in the last two years, along with a new graduate and internship program. In 2021, Dynisma announced a high-profile collaboration with Ferrari F1 to supply the Scuderia’s simulator.

The new campus will host the company’s Manufacturing Centre, enabling the design, development, and construction of simulators; an Engineering Centre, where ongoing development of its portfolio of motion generators will be expanded further; and a Technology Centre, a product demonstration facility. The campus is already in use for simulator design and production and will be fully operational by Q1 2024. The site is close to its existing demonstration facility and the Bristol Airport.

“Momentum has been rapidly accelerating over the last couple of years, and the creation of this state-of-the-art facility will take us to the next level,” said Ash Warne, Dynisma’s CEO. The campus “will enable us to build more simulators for our clients to meet demand, as well as recruit more top-level engineers. It also promises to be a world-class environment for new talent, in the shape of our graduates and interns through our newly established program.”

The company’s low-latency, high-bandwidth DMG (Dynisma Motion Generator) simulators are designed specifically for automotive-manufacturer and -supplier advanced vehicle development and testing as well as motorsport teams to optimize driver and car performance. Its driving simulator technology can help automakers in the development and testing of ADAS and AV technologies, EV powertrains, human-machine interface systems, ergonomics, vehicle dynamics, and NVH (noise vibration and harshness) reduction.

The company’s solutions for the automotive market include the DMG-1 engineering-class simulator designed to help develop vehicle dynamics and the DMG-X six-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) simulator with an “unprecedented bandwidth” of over 100Hz in all DOFs with a focus on testing ride comfort and NVH.  It calls its DMG-360 the world’s most advanced motion platform for dynamics, which renders the extreme handling of high-performance vehicles. The DMG-360 XY version of the motion platform was revealed at this year’s Driving Simulator Conference Europe event in Antibes, France, which adds increased ground-plane excursion with 5-m XY travel to meet demand from OEMs for a solution that can simulate a range of realistic driving scenarios where lane changing is required.

The company’s product portfolio for the motorsport industry includes a version of the DMG-1 that concentrates on dynamics in racing scenarios, enabling accelerated chassis set-ups, and optimized DMG-360 and DMG-360 XY systems. The technology is regarded by professional race drivers as the “most realistic technology” commercially available, according to driver testimonial videos on the company’s website.
