COMBINING LAP TIME AND DRIVER IN THE LOOP SIMULATION

One of the great challenges in vehicle dynamics simulation is correlating the trends with performance prediction software (usually lap time simulation) with Driver in the loop simulation. With ChassisSim this is a given because the lap time and driver in the loop software use the same numerical engine. It also gives you the confidence that what you are designing or race engineering will work as advertised. The following is a great case study. Enjoy,

INCORPORATING HANDLING INTO RACECAR SIMULATION - REVISITED

One of the most challenging subjects in racecar simulation is how do you incorporate handling into the results. Following up from one of our more popular tutorials this shows you how by specifying the handling you want this will directly effect the results of your simulations. Also for those of you competing in the ChassisSim Race Engineering competition there are some great tips and tricks in here. Enjoy

Thinking outside the box is one of the attractions of high end motorsport. Mercedes has come up with a ripper in there new DAS steering system.

Elegantly simple in ex*****on, it enables the driver to alternatively use toe as a tyre warmer in the early stages of an outing while also being able to reduce toe for better straightline speed, then reintroduce it at the early stages of cornering for better turn in.

Kudos to whoever came up with this one.
