Applying Factors of Safety and Peak Loading Using OptimumKinematics Forces Module by Connor Kennard | Jun 25, 2019 | OptimumKinematics As with any aspect of vehicle analysis, simulation is a multi-faceted tool that is only as good as the user can make it function. In addition to performing simulations that looks at how to achieve peak vehicle performance, a significant amount of effort needs to be... read more Optimum Kinematics Forces Module – Track Replay by Joao Antunes | Jun 25, 2019 | OptimumKinematics While there are plenty of methods that can be used to calculate the worst-case scenario for a vehicle’s suspension, there is no better way to know than from track data. Rather than estimating the performance envelope of a vehicle by considering the maximum forces that... read more Considering Compliance: Using the OptimumKinematics Forces Module to Determine the True Toe Gain by Connor Kennard | Jun 24, 2019 | OptimumKinematics The Forces Module in OptimumKinematics is one feature that can not only benefit the performance of the car through optimization of component design, but also optimization of vehicle setup. Using OptimumKinematics Forces Module the user can use the Multiple Iteration... read more OptimumG Announces New Software Pricing by OptimumG | Apr 15, 2019 | OptimumG News OptimumG announced this week their move towards a subscription based software licensing on all of their software solutions including OptimumKinematics, OptimumTire and OptimumDynamics. This move was done in order to stay true to their company’s mission. OptimumG’s... read more Suspension kinematics and its effect on performance by OptimumG | Sep 5, 2012 | OptimumKinematics To make a car go faster around a track, there are a couple of things we can do that generally will improve lap times. We can, lower weight, increase engine power, increase downforce, reduce drag, increase tire grip. Unfortunately all these changes typically come with... read more Throttle maps and tire wear by OptimumG | May 10, 2012 | OptimumTire In our recent article on the need of power in Formula SAE, we briefly looked at the throttle response of a specific engine. Mapping throttle pedal position to engine torque is a powerful tool for many vehicle dynamics engineers. This mapping can be done mechanically... read more It is all about horsepower… or is it? by OptimumG | Apr 23, 2012 | Formula SAE A vehicle’s performance can be described using many different metrics. The most commonly used is probably engine power. Whether your unit of choice is horsepower, kilowatts or calories per hour, the peak power of an engine is a number most people can relate to. It’s... read more Asymmetric Tire Data and OptimumTire by OptimumG | Apr 10, 2012 | OptimumTire One issue our customers come across every now and then is an asymmetric tire data set. The data set itself is not really the issue, but it can complicate the process of fitting tire models using OptimumTire. An asymmetric tire data set; is tire data collected on a... read more Linear or non-linear – that is the question! by OptimumG | Mar 19, 2012 | Vehicle Dynamics Among all the topics discussed during the Vehicle Dynamics and Control Seminar hosted in Cambridge last year, there was one issue the delegates seemed unable to agree upon. The handling limits of virtually all road vehicles are dictated by the tires, how much force... read more Has video killed data acquisition? by OptimumG | Mar 12, 2012 | Vehicle Dynamics Video killed the radio star is the title of The Buggles’ hit from 1979, their response to the upswing of music videos. In recent years video based data acquisition systems have become increasingly popular among weekend racers and smaller race teams.
