for the presentation

 Steering Analysis is a software developed to analyze and to compare the settings on the kart steering system, to help technicians, tuners and mechanics to find the best solutions to satisfy the driver needs, and to optimize the kart performance both for the adherence, both for the balance. In fact you can see easily how change ackermann, toe, wheels lift, dynamic camber, and therefore to make the correct choices to improve understeer, oversteer, or the grip.

Presentation
In the kart the settings on the steering system are frequents and very importants. For this reason to know precisely where each setting intervenes, and how much affects the different technical aspects for the driver, and for the grip and the balance of the kart, is fundmental to find fastly the best solution in the different tracks or conditions.

How it works?
Steering Analysis - kart steering system geometry - by NT-Project The use of the software Steering Analysis is very easy, in fact to have the first informations is sufficient to enter the dimensions of the steering system.

Results
Thanks to these data you can immediately see, the steering ratio, the steering of the outside and inside wheels, and their difference (ackermann), in function of the steering wheel angle. The software allows to compare until to three configurations, so you can easily see how happen varying the settings that you want test.

If in addition to the steering system data, you enter also caster and kingpin angles, you can have other fundmental informations to understand how the different settings affect driveability, balance, and grip while turning.

How you can see from the graphs, thanks to the calculation performed from the software Steering Analysis, will be easy to see which setup allows to give more grip (slip angle) at the outside wheel, and which at the inside wheel, which allows to obtain more or less work from the chassis for the different lift of the wheel, and which will give more or less camber at the wheels on turning.
The software in addition to compare the different steering system geometry, allows also to compare what happen with the different caster settings. Steering Analysis - kart caster setting - by NT-Project

 Selecting or entering the kart and tire data, through the data acquired from your acquisition system, the software Steering Analysis can perform also the dynamic calculation of the front axle movement, and of the kart to follow the track line. This allows to analyze how the different steering system and caster settings affect the kart grip, and the driveability so you can find easily the solution most adapted to improve the performance or the driver feeling.

How you can see from the graphs, thanks to the calculation performed from the software Steering Analysis, is possible to see in each point of the track the conditions of understeer or oversteer that you have with the different steering system and caster settings, both for grip problems, both for balance problems, and therefore to make the best choice in function of your needs.
The software Steering Analysis is then an instrument very useful, both to evaluate in advance the effects of the different steering system settings, and therefore to act with certainty in the desired direction , both to find on track the best solution to resolve the driving and performance problems, that you could have in function of the track features, and of the different conditions.
