MSC 3D software for me to allow easy set up and pinpoint 100% any advantage to be had out of chassis/rider/engine set up throttle on and off area's........

As its remote i even get one of those ariel's you see on the moto gp bike's

yeah baby.....



The model
Among the various multibody codes existing, the choice was MSC Working Model 3D, for his power and flexibility.

The model is composed by several rigid bodies: front and rear wheel, rear fork, front unsprung components, front fork, frame and motor, pilot.







Mass and inertia properties and suspension characteristics are those declared by Ducati all of the unknown properties were measured here at the M.D.R.G.'s lab, or guessed looking at similar motorcycles.

The knowledge of these parameters is necessary because we use them to calculate, by means of Pacejka's "magic formula", longitudinal, lateral and vertical forces, and also self-aligning and overturning torques.
