2008 SAE Motorsports Engineering Conference

December 2-4, 2008 in Concord, North Carolina

Mechanical Simulation’s senior race engineers and vehicle dynamics experts will be attending the 2008 SAE Motorsports Engineering Conference and are available to meet with race teams to discuss how CarSim can be used as a tool to optimize and reduce the costs of physical testing. To schedule a meeting, please email or call us at 734-668-2930.

As emerging rules limit on-track testing, and sponsorship opportunities are shrinking, innovative teams are looking to high-fidelity simulation to reduce testing costs and develop superior suspension and aerodynamic car setups to obtain a competitive advantage. CarSim is the world-leading provider of simulation solutions for vehicle dynamics and vehicle performance and is used by all major vehicle manufacturers (including General Motors, Toyota, Honda) and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers.

Mechanical Simulation’s software products provide a comprehensive set of tools that can be used in every design phase of a race car – evaluating basic design concepts, fine tuning design parameters, optimizing setups for individual race tracks, and helping drivers prepare for different tracks using CarSim for Driving Simulators.

Here are a few applications to consider:

• Virtual K & C rig
• Virtual 7-post rig
• Model and integrate any active system (dampers, brake bias, aerodynamic, etc.) using 3rd party design tools
• Evaluate physical components using hardware-in-the-loop systems
• Integrate with CFD software
• Obtain performance data that is impossible to collect with physical testing.
