HEEDS Optimization with VI-Motorsport Simulation Produces Early Success for Triple Eight Racing Team
Success Story
The technology partnership between Red Cedar Technology and its UK distributor, Zouch Dynamics Ltd., helped Triple Eight Race Engineering and the MG KX Momentum Racing team achieve a first place race finish during the inaugural weekend of the 2012 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season. Zouch Dynamics used VI-Motorsport vehicle simulation software (developed by VI-grade) to create an accurate model of the MG6 BTCC car, which could be used to predict the vehicle dynamics of the actual MG6. This model was then used in conjunction with HEEDS� MDO design optimization software to evaluate the performance of the MG6 BTCC car and find the setup that gave the shortest lap time. This setup helped MG KX Momentum driver, Jason Plato, place fourth and third in early races, and then finish first in the final race of the weekend. Read the entire story |
Optimization of Bonded UHMW for Boat and Marine Applications
White paper
Advancements in technology come in many varieties. While a few have been obvious "game changers," most technology breakthroughs have traveled a long road of development before evolving into revolutionary products. In fact, revolutionary products are often discovered by combining new technologies, designs, and methods.
Resistance to change in technology is understandable. In some cases, people do not perceive the need for change. Other times a change is deemed risky and not worth the cost to validate. If a new technology is meant to immediately replace the old technology, this can lead to poor results; typically a new technology must be worked into a problem over time to realize its true potential.
Such has been the case for LinkTech's new OceaPoly� technology for applying Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) to boat hulls and other marine structures. Read the entire white paper
