“The software [MELVIS] has become an integral tool in the overall vehicle design in the area of engine integration at Mercedes-Benz”*

Let’s take a look at some features:

Generate high quality intelligent motion envelopes (swept volumes) with submillimeter accuracy.

“Mercedes-Benz uses the MELVIS software to safeguard engine movements in the engine compartment. […] With the software, detailed engine movements can already be viewed in the digital development phase.”*

Interactive distance bands: playback motions and inspect moving distance bands in real time; adjust number, ranges and colors.
Systematically inspect and safeguard motions on the digital vehicle prototype; plot minimal distance (red and green ball).

“[…] the engineers at Mercedes Benz now use the MELVIS software to generate motion envelopes of tires and wheels […] Due to the efficiency, the computation of an envelope with up to one million wheel positions is possible [..]”*

Generate motion envelopes (swept volumes) of tires and wheels.
