VI-Motorsport is a software environment for vehicle modelling and dynamic analysis, which helps race cars designers and track engineers to predict vehicle performance when set-up parameters are modified, before the car is built and also in support of race events.
Applications
Suspension modeling and analysis environment to derive suspension curves
- Detailed description of components such as dampers, springs, bumpstops, antiroll bars, aerodynamics and tires
- Advanced driver and road model included
- Limit performance evaluation of the car on a given circuit
- Successfully used in a large variety of motorsport series: Formula 1, GP2, WTCC, Nascar, IndyCar Series, Le Mans Series, GT, Rally
Benefits
Detailed, reliable and fast race car model
- One environment to study suspension and full-vehicle behavior in different conditions
- Advanced driver technology able to push the car to the limit
- Easy exchange of data between simulation environment and data logging system
- Realistic simulation conditions with reliable vehicle and detailed road data files (including kerbs, bank angle and 3D disturbances)
- Efficient as track side tool to find best set-up during tests and qualifying sessions
- Accelerated optimization campaigns thanks to the real-time technology
- Determine subsystem targets quickly and possibly automated
