Designing and setting up a car is hard work.  Kinematics software shouldn’t be.   OptimumK – computer aided suspension design and analysis  –  was developed in 2008 and has already been used and implemented by racing teams in the Formula One, American Le Mans/Le Mans, Dakar, IRL and Touring Car series.  Now outfitted for the specific rules and regulations of NASCAR, teams can use OptimumK to design and set-up their vehicles faster and smarter.      

Throughout the season, NASCAR teams may change their set-up for each specific track they race on.  Each small change can make a big difference on the track.  In OptimumK - NASCAR Edition the suspension system is defined by individual parts, which allows teams to change a single part and analyze the effects on suspension kinematics to determine the perfect set-up for race day.    

OptimumK - NASCAR Edition has all the features of our original OptimumK program, but with addedfeatures with the NASCAR team in mind. We invite you to try a free trial of OptimumK and experience the software’s:

Intuitive user-friendly layout that is split into three sections – design, motion and analysis – and enables you to work faster and smarter.  OptimumK allows users to create a part library and easily switch out components of unique geometry, and change Slugs and Shims for quick set-up changes.

Flexibility by allowing users:

• to choose any input and output coordinate systems,
• select symmetric or asymmetric suspension point input,
• have the option to roll and pitch chasses around a moving, fixed or custom-designed rotation axis, and
• specify simultaneous steering, heave, pitch and roll motions.

Quality 3-D graphic display that allows for easy visualization of the design.

Accuracy with over 400 data channels which can be plotted against each other or tabulated in a report.  Users can overlay and compare results from multiple design iterations in graphs and report tables.  OptimumK has also been successfully tested against the leading CAD software packages.

Direct application to car design and setup to help you win races.
