The Unreal Engine is a powerful gaming engine which has the capacity to provide high-quality
graphics when used as a plugin. The Mechanical Simulation Unreal Engine CarSim plugin allows
users to create these high-quality graphics and overlay them on CarSim simulations. The plugin
will feed terrain data, including surface friction, from the Unreal Engine to the CarSim math
model. It will also provide the math model data to the simulation using code or blueprints.
Standard CarSim output files are generated so that you can view all of the selected variable
outputs in the CarSim plotter after a run. This tutorial assumes you have little or no experience
with the Unreal Engine, but would like to use the plugin for your vehicle simulations.
Before You Start
Before starting, there are a few requirements.
1. CarSim 2018.0 or later must be installed on your computer.
2. You must have a valid CarSim license. Ensure that either the main CarSim program or
the VLSM license utility is running with the CarSim Solver license feature enabled.
3. Create an Epic Games account to download the Unreal Engine.
4. Unreal Engine version 4.20 or later must be installed from www.unrealengine.com.
How to Setup the CarSim Plugin
Once you’ve downloaded and installed the Unreal Engine, open the Epic Game Launcher to
access the application. Go to Marketplace, and search for “CarSim” to find the plugin (Figure 1).
Click Install to Engine , then click the Launch button
to access the project browser.

In the browser (Figure 2), go to the tab labeled New Project , and from there, navigate to the
Blueprint tab (you can create a C++ project if you prefer). Select Vehicle from the list of
options , then click the Create Project button in the lower right corner .

Note The CarSim plugin must first be enabled through the Unreal browser
before you have access to it. If you are not prompted by the engine to do
so, you can navigate from the Unreal browser to Edit > Plugins, where
you should click the Enable checkbox (Figure 3). You will then be
prompted to restart Unreal; please follow the prompt and restart.
Figure 3. Plugin Browser Screen.
This creates a new project using the Blueprint Vehicle Template Project. Once you’ve created
the project, navigate to the left side of the screen under Modes (Figure 4) and search for
CarSim . An item named CarsimPawn will show up under the search bar. You have now
located the proper plugin component we will be using with the Unreal Plugin.
Figure 4. Finding the CarSim Pawn.
How to Attach Objects to the Simulation
In the following steps, we will add a body object to the project, attach a body mesh to it, and
finally adjust the offset coordinates such that the overlay matches the origin of the CarSim
coordinate system.

1. Drag the CarSimPawn to the Unreal Viewport
(Figure 5). We have now located the
correct class object to use with the plugin, and have dragged it into the window from the
menu.
Figure 5. Navigating the Unreal GUI.
Note The vehicle will not have any body geometry attached initially. It will
appear as an xyz origin with cameras, as shown above.
2. Toward the top right side of the Unreal Editor screen is a menu box called the World
Outliner . Locate the CarSimPawn and highlight by left-clicking once.
3. At the lower part of the screen is the project space. Navigate to the example vehicle body
in the content browser Content > Vehicle > Sedan
and drag Sedan_SkelMesh
to
the Details menu, dropping the mesh onto BodyShapeOffset . It will prompt you for a
name, just press enter to save as Sedan_SkelMesh.
4. This will attach the body mesh to the CarSimPawn object.
5. Navigate to the Sedan_SkelMesh details (Figure 6). Here, you will find physics and
collision elements to manage. Scroll down until you find the Collision Presets, and use
the drop-down menu to change collision preset to Vehicle on the body mesh.
