RACE (Rapid Axle Concept Evolution) is an end-to-end MBS (multibody simulation) / MBD (multibody dynamics) software package for the development of suspension systems. It combines model build, model parameterization, post-process, data storage, and report generation into a single platform. It is cloud-based, requires no software installation and can be run from a web browser on any computer, phone or tablet.
RACE requires user inputs to define the layout and tuning of the suspension system. Once the inputs are submitted by the user, the RACE pre-processor builds a full suspension multibody simulation (MBS). RACE then runs a virtual kinematics and compliance (K&C) test cycle on the suspension system. The K&C test applies vertical, roll, steering, cornering, traction and braking loads to the suspension system and the response of the system to each is recorded. The raw simulation output is exported to a post-processor which generates a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to analyse the performance of the suspension system. These KPIs form the basis of the RACE Software suspension performance report which is generated and uploaded to the user’s account for review.

RACE Software has been absolutely critical to our chassis design process. It gives us not only solutions, but also genuine understanding, helping us interpret suspension behaviour more clearly and make informed engineering decisions.

Across my work with race teams and the seminars I organise, RACE Software has proved essential. In racing, it helps us understand new car concepts and determine the optimum setup before any track time. In teaching, it gives students hands on experience with cutting edge tools, deepening their understanding of suspension systems.

RACE Software gave our team confidence in the data and setup decisions by validating our measurements and assumptions, identifying setup errors, and pre validating ideas before committing to builds or track testing, saving significant time and cost.

I am glad I came across RACE Software and was able to use this powerful tool to further develop and refine my own suspension design for drifting at the highest level. The data provided by RACE Software is invaluable.
