Formula Student Vehicle Modeling Using Simscape Multibody

Nicolò Poncia and Veer Alakshendra demonstrate how Simscape Multibody™ can be used to model and simulate a Formula Student vehicle. A high-fidelity vehicle model enables Formula Student teams to conduct open- and closed-loop maneuvers and lap-time simulations, test suspension systems in extreme road conditions, generate GGV plots, and optimize vehicle-level performance by adjusting design parameters in any system.
