Vehicle Dynamics for Formula Student

THEORY 2 TRACK

Six simulation modules that take you from raw tyre data to a validated lap time. Each one ships with source code, a remote setup call, theory documentation, and the supporting docs to use it on your car.

Toolbox

THE TOOLCHAIN

Six modules, one workflow. Fit tyres, build envelopes, simulate the lap, study sensitivities, present results. Module 01 in pre-launch, the rest coming soon.

01 · Tyre Fitting

Pacejka coefficient fitting from raw tyre rig data. Produces a tyre model file ready for downstream lap simulation and vehicle dynamics work.

MATLAB
Coming Soon Register interest ›

02 · GGV Envelope

Combined lateral and longitudinal acceleration envelopes with speed dependency. Feeds directly into the lap simulator.

MATLAB
Coming Soon Register interest ›

03 · Lap Simulator

Quasi-steady-state lap simulator. Three-phase solver with backward braking and forward acceleration sweeps over a discretised track.

MATLAB / Simulink
Coming Soon Register interest ›

04 · Vehicle Model

Multi-DoF planar model with load transfer, anti-geometry, and aero maps. Newton-Raphson steady-state solver around a Simulink plant.

MATLAB / Simulink
Coming Soon Register interest ›

05 · Sensitivity Study

Parameter sweeps for mass, CG height, aero balance, and spring rates. Outputs tornado charts and a ranked sensitivity table.

Python
Coming Soon Register interest ›

06 · Data Dashboard

Streamlit post-processing for simulation outputs. Overlay runs, compare setups, export 300 DPI plots for design reviews.

FROM EQUATIONS TO APEX

Fit the Rubber

Start with raw tyre test data. Fit Pacejka coefficients you can trust under combined slip.

Build the Vehicle Model

Stand up the vehicle model with your car's mass, CG, suspension geometry, and aero map. Everything downstream uses it.

Build the Envelope

Generate speed-dependent GGV surfaces from the fitted tyre and the vehicle model. Reflects the real performance limits of your car, not a textbook one.

Simulate the Lap

Feed the envelope into a quasi-steady or transient sim. Validate against logged data. Iterate until the numbers match the stopwatch.

Design with Confidence

Run sensitivity studies to find where the next tenth lives. Make decisions backed by simulation, not gut feel.

What you get

CODE, SETUP, THEORY, DOCS

Every module ships in four parts. Source, a setup call, theory documentation, supporting docs.

Source Code

MATLAB or Python depending on the module. Commented and editable. No compiled binaries.

Remote Setup

One remote call per team to help configure the module against your data, your tyre, and your initial guesses. Session recording sent within 24 h.

Theory Docs

Documentation of the parameterisation, the fitting procedure, and the diagnostic approach. Cited to source texts where relevant.

Supporting Docs

Worked example on real data. Per-channel fit-quality reporting. README, troubleshooting notes, and a list of known limitations.

Source code, a setup call, and documentation. If something doesn't run on your machine, the setup call is there to help debug it with you.
All six modules

REGISTER FOR THE BUNDLE

All six modules release once the validation pack is published with stated coefficient deltas. Registrants get an early-access discount on the bundle price.

The full toolchain

Tyre Fitting, GGV Envelope, Lap Simulator, Vehicle Model, Sensitivity Study, Data Dashboard. Cross-linked so the output of one is the input to the next.
