Export CSV. Double wishbone Macpherson strut Swing axle Sliding pillar Trailing arm. Settings Upper Control Arm length. Results Upper Right inclination. Settings Hub to upper ball joint X. Results Distance between upper and lower ball joints kingpin length. Standard tire sizing. Explicit tire sizing. Often used in car design for analyzing torsional rigidity and load bearing.
LISA is a free node-limited finite element analysis package for Windows with an integrated modeler, multi-threaded solver and graphical post-processor. A commercial version is also available.
Free Finite element software for analysis of structures such as car chassis or other mechanical objects. Software for designing and analyzing suspension systems and geometry. Some software includes kinematic capabilities that simulate vehicle dynamics using the designed suspension. Suspension design software is invaluable in car or truck design as it does the heavy lifting when it comes to the many iterations of manual calculation that are usually needed to find the ideal geometry.
OptimumKinematics Suspension design software that enables 3D suspension geometry definition, setups and simulations. OptimumG also sells vehicle dynamics simulation and tire modeling software programs. Visualization of the suspension motion, centers, tires and attachment points. Software for simulating motion physics in either 3D or 2D. Used in car design for problem solving and simulating vehicle behaviors on or off road.
CarSim Mechanical Simulation Commercial-level software also in use at Universities used used to model full vehicle dynamics. Rigs of Rods is an open source vehicle simulator which uses a soft-body physics model to simulate vehicles, machines, objects.
A two-dimensional motion and physics simulation tool that includes motion sources motors, torques, etc. Very useful for solving 2D "what-if" problems without constructing a physical model.
Software for managing tasks and schedules, in either a single person or group collaboration environment. Freedcamp Free online project management and collaboration site. Another free project scheduling and management application to manage tasks and schedules for your car project. A free open source replacement for Microsoft Project. Useful in managing tasks and schedules for your race car project. A free, open source project management software for managing the tasks and schedule for your race car project.
Software that provides general usefulness for car designers and builders. It includes a MS Visio-like application called "Draw" which can be used to create diagrams in addition to the usual office applications for word processing and spreadsheet. Includes an MS Visio alternative program called Draw in addition to the usual productivity applications like word processing and spreadsheet. Please let us know! We especially love free stuff!
