Claytex exhibit and present at the American Modelica Conference 2024. The conference will take place at the University of Connecticut in Storrs in the Innovation Partnership Building from October 14–16, 2024. It is organized by NAMUG, the North American Modelica Users Group, in cooperation with the Modelica Association.
This year, you have the option to watch presentations streamed online for a reduced conference admission fee.
Scope of conference
The Modelica Conference is the main event for users, library developers, tool vendors and language designers to share their knowledge and learn about the latest scientific and industrial progress related to Modelica, FMI, SSP, eFMI and DCP. The program will cover processes and tools for the modeling of complex physical and cyber-physical systems as applied to a wide range of research and industrial applications.
In addition to paper presentations, the conference features several Modelica tutorials for beginners and advanced users, as well as industrial user presentations, vendor sessions, and an exhibition.
Meet with Claytex
At our stand, we will be showcasing our new range of Modelica Libraries including the complete VeSyMA suite of solutions.
Presentation
Motorsport technology transfer deploying vehicle simulation to the masses
Abstract
Motorsport’s traditional role as the laboratory for the road has evolved in recent years. Contemporary contributions to technical advancement can now be felt in the sphere of engineering techniques and tools. Claytex have partnered with Penske Racing Shocks to bring vehicle simulation to the mid-level professional motorsport outfit, expanding the scope of who is able to utilize simulation to develop and improve their vehicles. Progressive elimination of on-track testing sparked the development and adoption of driver in the loop (DiL) simulators and desktop-based vehicle dynamics simulation. Both have become common at the top levels such as Formula 1 or NASCAR. Dymola and Modelica enjoy a strong market presence at the highest tier but cost and resources have limited the transfer from the top to middle and lower levels. Simulation goals for the mid-tier professional team often resemble those of teams in the top echelon. Augmentation of experience-based decisions with simulation data is often the first step. Next, more complex design changes and their potential effects are explored. Teams can then rationalize the impact of various changes, aiding development. One advantage for Penske Racing Shocks has been the ability to create a catalogue of various car parts – builds, assemblies etc – and then use simulation to put various virtual twins through their paces in different configurations. Impacts on vehicle behavior, and ultimately laptime are quick to follow, improving and refining the customer’s performance. For mid-level professional motorsport teams, the propagation of technologies such as data loggers in the past 15-20 years has been allied to a trend of affordability for data storage and computational resources. Simulation of their vehicles is now a feasible concept from a technical perspective as the required data and hardware is now available. However, barriers to the use of high-end market simulation techniques still exist. Directly inspired by how Dymola is utilized at the top-level, Claytex have addressed these issues with Penske Racing Shocks. The process of creating a generalized GUI which can be utilized by the end user has been achieved. (Theodor Ensbury, Nate Horn – Claytex & Issac Rose – Penske Racing Shocks)
