DESIGN and OPTIMAL SETTING |
|
|
Both
in the speed race, both in the motocross, the suspensions play a
decisive role, so can evaluate beforehand
how they behave in the different driving conditions
(braking, cornering and acceleration), and in the case of cross, on jumps and on whoops, it is
essential to find the right settings. Thanks
to the software
Suspension Design you
can analyze your set-up and define new set-ups based on the
characteristics of the track where you must race. The software
also allows you to analyze and develop the suspensions, both for
the geometry of the kinematics of the rear suspension, both to
identify the appropriate characteristics of the springs and of
the dampers of the fork and of the shock absorber |
|
|
To
know the balance of the motorbike, the position of the center of
gravity, and the value of the most significant technical
parameters, is essential to understand how to better orientate
the development and the setting in relation to one's needs.
NT-Project has therefore created a software that allows you to
quickly analyze the characteristics of the motorbike, and to
quickly study the changes to be made to the chassis and to the
suspensions to achieve the desired result. In fact thanks to the
software
Motorbike Design you can easily
calculate all these quantities, and also analyze and study the
rear suspension, being able to easily see how the progressivity
changes, and the movement of the wheel according to the crushing
of the shock absorber, based on the chosen geometry. |

SIMULATION and OPTIMAL SETTING |
|
|
The
simulation in the motorsport today is a fundmental aspect, both
in the development phase, both for the fine tuning. In addition
to this remains essential to analyze the acquired data directly
on track. The software
SET-UP Motorbike Simulator allows to
combine these two aspects to supply at technicians and engineers
an instrument of great help to optimize and to speed up the
choices technicals and of set-up, both before to go on track,
both in the work to the box. From one side infact the software
allows to simulate the motorbike performance varying all the
influencing factors, from the other allows to process the
acquired to obtain important informations, that can be used,
both in combination with the simulation, both to understand
better the setting used, the tires behavior, and the engine
performance. |

OPTIMAL SETTING |
|
|
The data acquisition is essential, and from this,
together with the rider sensations, come out directions
on how to improve the set-up of the racing bike on the
track. To make a correct interpretation of the data
acquired, the technician can only rely on their own
experience and capabilities, and the task is very
arduous. NT-Project has therefore developed a software
that translate the informations acquired by the
acquisition in more readily interpretable technical data
to facilitate the race engineer or the technician in the
analysis and in the subsequent choices of set-up. The
software
Motorbike Analysis from the data
acquired calculates the dynamic behavior of the racing bike,
allowing an immediate interpretation of the grip
problems and loss of grip. Moreover calculates how the
set-up of the suspension has impacted on the bike and
on the tire temperature in each point of the track. |
|
|
One of the most important choices to obtain the maximum from the
motorbike engine is that of the transmission ratio. In fact, the
choice of sprockets depends on many factors, first of all the
characteristics of the track, but also the weather conditions
and the grip conditions, so the choice is not easy, if not by
trial, instead thanks to the software SET-UP
Gear you will find the best sprockets for
the track and for the conditions with precision and quickly. In
addition to this the software will help you to choose which
engine speed range is best to use, and the optimal braking
distribution. |
|
|
In the engines with a carburetor, the carburation is
certainly more influential on 2-stroke engines ,
than on 4-stroke engines, but in the racing field to maintain optimal
carburation also on these engines becomes a determining factor
to win. In fact, the combustion has a maximum
efficiency only with proper air fuel ratios and hence the calibration must be adjusted when changing weather conditions. For this reason were developed software
some versions of the appreciated
SET-UP Carburetor also for carburetors used on 4-stroke engines. |
|
|
In recent years has been introduced in the market
additional control units to alter the carburation and
the ignition advances mapped in origin. The mapping of these additional units or is predefined depending on the type of
motorbike, or it can be created only if you have
dynamometers that work in combination with the specific additional unit. For all
those who have other dynamometers, mapping can only be done by trial and error. Thanks to the software
Fast Map you can instead use the results of any type of
dynamometers to get the mappings of these additional control units. |

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS |
|
|
The data acquisition systems and telemetry allow you to collect a lot of information on vehicle performance,
but what is often difficult to obtain are engine performance
(torque, power) to analyze concretely how is making it and then evaluate the optimal tuning. Thanks to the software
Virtual Dyno you can
instead easily get the curves of torque and power of
your engine, simply by rearranging the data acquired from your
acquisition system. |
|
|
Data acquisition is fundamental to analyze the performance on
the track, and from the acquired data it is possible to
understand how the rider has driven, but this analysis is not
immediate and requires time and experience to really see where
the rider can improve, where he is in difficulties, etc. The software Rider Analysis
instead reworks the acquired data so you can see immediately in
all the points of the track as the rider has behaved in all the
driving phases, braking, cornering, exit corner, so in a few
seconds you will know how to advise your rider to be more fast. |
