Lap-Time Simulation with ChassisSim

This course includes

The cost and time associated with track testing in Motorsport is no secret, with many categories enforcing a cap on track use outside of Race Weekends. Now more than ever, teams rely heavily on Simulation to not only test but also optimize, setups and upgrades to the car. Whilst Simulation can be an incredibly powerful tool for all teams, the way in which it is deployed will have a huge impact on its success.

In this course, you will gain important insight into how Lap-Time Simulation software can be used effectively to ensure that you exploit as much performance as possible. Using a combination of ChassisSim and MoTeC, you will have the opportunity to learn about the key concepts used when preparing for a Race.

What to expect from

Upon successful course completion, each student will receive an official Motorsport Engineer certificate. All students are free to interact with the instructor and benefit from industry networking opportunities, professional recommendations, and advice.

Duration & Difficulty

• 44 Lessons
• Advanced Difficulty
• Approximate time required to complete course: 9 hours
  

• Getting Started with ChassisSim & MoTeC
• LTS Modelling
• Setup Rebalancing
• LTS Correlation
• Final Assignment

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of the most important considerations for Lap-Time Simulation deployment.
2. Become familiar and conversant with ChassisSim Lap-Time Simulation software – including Car Modelling and Track Creation.
3. Become conversant with MoTeC Data Analysis software, with all techniques transferable to any other Data Analysis software package.
4. Demonstrate a strong understanding of the processes required to Rebalance the Aero Balance and Mechanical Balance of a setup, for both the Simulation and Trackside environments.
5. Demonstrate a firm understanding of the processes required to obtain strong correlation between simulation data and track data, considering the primary focus areas of the data and the corresponding car model parameters to adjust.
6. Use the techniques and methods learned during the course to perform Setup Rebalances and Correlation studies, as performed in industry.

• You are a student or a professional with interest in Vehicle Dynamics or Performance Engineering
• You are a Motorsport Professional and want to learn about the specifics of Lap-Time Simulation techniques, methods and tasks
• You want to start a career in Vehicle Dynamics or Performance Engineering

The Lap-Time Simulation with ChassisSim course offers a great opportunity to get hands on with industry-leading software package ChassisSim. This software is used by many top-level organisations across several categories of motorsport.

Once enrolled, students will be able to benefit from 1000 free simulations in ChassisSim! All remaining simulations upon course completion can be used as you please – this could represent a great way to enhance the performance of a Formula Student car, or any other vehicle for that matter.

Motorsport Engineer will provide download & installation instructions to students upon enrolment.

MoTeC will also be used as an outlet for critical data analysis when exploring the simulation data generated by ChassisSim.
