Overview Camber plays a big role on vehicle balance and control. The inclination angle of the tires affect not only the maximum lateral grip but also the tire stiffness, which impacts on driver sensitivity, as well as tire wear and temperature. However, the suspension...
A game changer on suspension design and development
Modern development demands have been increasing rapidly. The search for the optimal solutions on every engineering aspect has become more crucial. Simulation and analysis are not enough anymore. The Optimization Module fills this gap on suspension design.
Key Features
High-quality and optimized suspension systems in a fraction of time
The Optimization Module puts the computer to work for the designer, delivering optimal solutions quickly.
Multi-objective
Good suspension kinematics rely on a trade-off between their many characteristics, thus, the Optimization Module can handle as many objectives as needed.
3D visualizations and results preview
Monitor the evolution of your suspension system by analyzing the 3D visualization and the objective as the optimization is running.
Custom design space and boundaries
Only change the pickup points you want and keep them within the volume you defined, or not!

Main Module
Fast and Robust Kinematics Solver- Iterate over many systems with just a few clicks.
- Hundreds of default kinematics output channels are ready to use, including derivatives in steering, roll, pitch, and heave.
- Does not require deep knowledge of multi-body software, therefore it requires much fewer inputs, providing a faster iterative process.
Optimization Module
A game changer on suspension design and development- High-quality and optimized suspension systems in a fraction of time
- Handle as many objectives as needed
- Analyze the 3D visualization and the objective as the optimization is running
- Only change the pickup points you want and keep them within the volume you defined, or not!
Forces Module
Calculate forces on suspension components- Simulate the front and rear suspension for any combination of forces and moments, which can be applied either at the contact patch or at wheel centers.
- Simulate forces and moments inputs at any heave, roll, pitch, and steering configuration.
- Include forces and moments reactions at every suspension pick-up point.

Tie Rod Optimization Using OptimumKinematics Optimization Module
Overview This case study shows how to find the tie rod inner and outer ball joints coordinates that provide the best compromise between Ackerman angle in steering, the steering ratio and a custom bump steer curve while still keeping the angle between the rods and the...
Motion Ratio Optimization Using OptimumKinematics Optimization Module
Overview This case study shows how to optimize the motion ratio values of a Push/Pull Rod system. The main objective is to achieve a targeted value of motion ratio for a heave motion by changing the rocker pickup points and the coil-over mount on the chassis. Imagine...
