FSAE suspension development in virtual environment

Through Adams/Car software, it was developed a complete template of a double wishbone suspension with a single shock absorber per axle for a formula SAE prototype. With this template it is intended to perform a series of simulations to test its kinematics and dynamics in the situations which the vehicle will be submitted at the competition, then the shock absorber’s parameters, double wishbone geometries, camber, caster, toe and kingpin inclination can be improved, validating the system viability and getting a higher performance.
