ESI Virtual Seat Solution (VSS) seat design software is a software solution dedicated to virtual prototyping of seats. With VSS, OEMs and seat suppliers can design, manufacture, test, develop and validate virtually any design process, seat prototypes, without the need for costly physical prototypes.

In a standard design process, real prototypes are built, test runs are conducted, refined and iteratively tested. This time period is often the step where problems and areas to be addressed are discovered, but this happens at the end of the development cycle. At this point, it may be too late or too expensive to change your sofa design.

However, thanks to the Virtual Seat Solution seat manufacturing simulation, you can test the performance of your seat before the design is frozen and anticipate any production issues. This allows for more innovation and refinement early in the development cycle. You can evaluate all performance domains (safety, H-Point prediction, static and dynamic comfort, thermal comfort, etc.) using a single core model. This allows seat designers, seat engineers and seat specialists to work simultaneously and efficiently. Using a single model, you can quickly evaluate trade-offs between different design options to develop your virtual prototype.

In addition, the Virtual Seat Solution provides a highly accurate prediction of seat performance as it takes into account the effects of production. Thanks to specialized applications and human models, users can evaluate performance by accurately reflecting the interaction between seat and passengers.
