One of the unique features of Chassissim is it's ability to run virtual 7 post rig simulations. This often heard, but little understood test can provide amazing insight into how we spring and damp our race vehicles.

In this video tutorial, Danny Nowlan shows us how to use this powerful toolbox.

In this video tutorial, Danny Nowlan shows how to use the powerful Tyre Modelling Toolbox featured in Chassissim Elite. The Chassissim tyre model is now recoginsed as one of the most comprehensive models commercially available and is used by top teams in major championships all over the world.

The latest version of this toolbox includes the ability to not only model lateral tyre force against vertical load, it now includes a 3rd dimension to that model which is tyre temperature as well as longitudinal and lateral camber properties and slip angles.

Lap time simulation has finally become a reality for “regular” teams. For a long time it was only the domain of elite teams in the highest (and best funded!) forms of motorsport. But in the last couple of years lap simulation has really hit its stride with improvements in processor speed and performance. What once took multiple workstations back at the factory to calculate can now be accomplished on a lap top at the track in minutes. We’re going to take a look out how we might go about optimising a set up for a current open wheeler at a new track.

Aero mapping isn't the advanced uber-science that it may seem. It's a fairly straightforward process requiring sensors that most serious competitors already have on their cars.

Quite accurate aeromaps can be derived without the expense of strain gauges (although they help) and are invaluable to engineers when setting up modern race cars.

Setup Editor is an application used to interface with the context information items of WinTAX data. Using this application it is possible to edit all information associated with the data, to add, edit or delete constants and user records, to perform computations using virtual channels and to import the content of files not present in the data archive. Using OLE Automation it is possible to access Setup Editor from external applications. Furthermore, the structure of Setup Editor allows for easy interaction with Excel.

This document has been revised to include some important information regarding the 1098R model. The Ducati 1098R is still not on our ‘official’ list of bikes that the Nemesis may be fitted to but 2 of our dealers have already done this conversion using Nemesis and are racing them successfully.
