Simulation of the Handling Dynamics
摘要
Laptime simulations can be very helpful in finding a good setup in a relative short time. By simulating all sorts of setups, the engineer will learn much about the car, and will be better prepared for trying out the optional settings at the track. This chapter describes the use of two simulations packages: CarMaker and ChassisSim. The software, however, will return a laptime plus data after each run, but it remains the engineer who will have to interpret these data intelligently and decide concerning the next improvement.
