Connected vehicle development
See the assembly.
Understand the response.
Vehicle Dynamics brings suspension geometry, steering, articulation controls, calculated graphs, and synchronized 2D/3D engineering views into one focused assembly.

SCREENING / REVIEW

Bump, roll, steer, and combined articulation use one synchronized review workflow across the available views.
Calculated characteristics and response graphs remain tied to the active assembly inputs and review state.
From assembly to evidence
Open one subsystem.
See what the geometry changed.
The assembly is not a disconnected visual. MetraBench carries its suspension definition into the component calculation, then returns the trends, margins, and review state to the same vehicle record.
Calculated suspension component
Read the response.
Keep it tied to the assembly.
These coordinated curves use the released Vehicle Dynamics baseline: double-wishbone front, multi-link rear, and a ±75 mm rigid-link jounce sweep. Every axis, series, unit, and review boundary remains visible.
From question to record
A workflow built for
engineering judgment.
MetraBench keeps the calculation, its context and its evidence together—from the first estimate through design review.
Define
Set project units, standards, safety factors, materials and shared load cases.
Calculate
Choose from guided solver modes with engineering-aware input checks.
Review
See governing margins, assumptions, warnings, equations and evidence status.
Document
Save revisions and export a traceable calculation package for review.
Real solver evidence
See how geometry changes load, stress, margin, and speed.
This is the current Spur Gear Solver graph workspace rendered directly in the browser. Follow the blue default marker across the four views: a 20-tooth pinion drives a 60-tooth gear under 120 N·m input torque.

Calculation reports
The result.
The reasoning.
The record.
Keep the problem definition, calculated results and selected graphs together in one readable report.
- Start with the inputs.Loads, operating conditions, units and targets stay with the calculation.
- Show what governs.Failed checks remain visible alongside the results and engineering context.
- Carry the evidence.Selected graphs, assumptions and the equation source complete the record.

Questions
Know where
MetraBench fits.
Is MetraBench a replacement for FEA or CFD?+
No. MetraBench is designed for rapid sizing, screening, system studies and traceable preliminary calculations. High-fidelity simulation and physical testing remain essential where the design risk requires them.
Does it require an internet connection?+
Core calculations and local project work are designed to run offline. This helps teams retain control of sensitive project information.
Can calculations be reviewed later?+
Yes. Projects preserve calculation context, revisions, assurance information and report-ready engineering records.
Which platform will be supported first?+
The initial release is designed for 64-bit Windows as a signed desktop application and installer.
MetraBench for Windows · Coming soon
