Fifty-four components, one geometry, zero hand-waves. Our kinematic rewrites ship with full GD&T, FEA, and a setup sheet the race engineer signs off on. We work across formula categories, prototypes, sportscars, and one-make series. wherever the question is “how do we find the next half-second without breaking the budget.”
Kinematics, chassis stiffness, setup sensitivity. Concept through track validation. We bring the rig model, the correlation data, and the discipline of writing down every assumption.
How we'll run the programme.
Tools we use
The toolchain behind the lap time.
-
Adams / MATLAB
MSC Adams for full-vehicle K&C and dynamics simulation. MATLAB + Simulink for setup sensitivity sweeps and driver-in-loop correlation.
-
CATIA V5 / NX
Primary CAD environments for hardpoint definition, geometry releases, and assembly validation. Full GD&T drawings included.
-
Ansys / Abaqus
Structural and fatigue FEA for chassis components. Mesh convergence documented; boundary conditions justified from load cases, not defaults.
-
Virtual Rig
Seven-post rig correlation model that validates spring, damper, and ARB rates before hardware is committed.
-
Pi Toolbox / MoTeC
Telemetry analysis for track correlation. Lap-by-lap parameter sweeps mapped against chassis model predictions.
-
Custom Python Pipelines
Automated post-processing of K&C sweeps, roll-centre migration plots, and bump-steer curves. Results in the engineer's hands in minutes, not days.
They rewrote the front suspension kinematics in six weeks. The car was three-tenths faster by round three.
