## CarMaker Reviews
  ### 1. IPG Carmaker software for simulating testing of vehicles.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pritesh K. | CAE Engineer 1, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2024

**What do you like best about CarMaker?**

IPG CarMaker proved to be a much easier tool than I thought when I started using it during the pandemic for simulating vehicle dynamics parameters for SAE India events. The main cluster provides all the buttons you need for inputing the parameters for modelling your vehicle. You can also create tracks, add potholes or gravel, grass according to your testing requirments which works very much close to real life conditions. The changes one makes gets implemented very fast and you can see the impact of your changes which works great. Using it regularly makes it even quicker and user friendly turning the modelling time to very less leading to more iterations.

**What do you dislike about CarMaker?**

The SKC files in Kinematics which can be integrated with the tool may somewhat be a challenge if you are new which was in my case. Some buttons take time and study to really understand how they help to model the vehicle, CarMaker can look into that to make it more user friendly.

**What problems is CarMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helped me model my vehicle for an SAE event at first which turned out to be great and later for studying the vehicle dynamics of vehicles. Overall helped me undertand how to model a vehicle and test it on different conditions and study its changes.
