SET-UP BIKE - Software to tuner the motorbike from the garage to the track

How it works?

SET-UP BIKE through the implementation of a specific dynamic calculation and a virtual rider determines the performance of the motorbike on a particular track, taking into account all major factors affecting it.

The data necessary to use the software can be detected by any team or garage with extreme facility and are designed to characterize the motorbike in all its aspects:

frame

rider

suspensions

tyres

engine

gearbox

transmission

The graphical display allows a fast and easy data entry, then simply choose the track that you want to perform dynamic simulation and in a few seconds the software will calculate the best performance that the motorbike included in the configuration can be carried out on the track chosen.

The realism of the simulations carried out by SET-UP BIKE has been verified through comparisons with data collected by telemetry. The chart below shows a sample comparison of the speed calculated by simulation (red) with that measured by telemetry (blue), it is the absolute consistency of results with deviations only due to differences in driving between the real and the virtual rider in some parts of the track.

This consistency allows therefore to exploit SET-UP BIKE to predict the behavior of the motorbike and its performance as a function of the technical choices and adjustments that are to be made. This allows for early detection of the correct direction of development of the motorbike to changing tracks, track conditions, the physical characteristics of the pilot, and so on.

Results

The features and information provided by SET-UP BIKE are really important and examples of situations where it can bring benefits are countless. At the end of the calculation is displayed in the first place the lap time that the virtual rider has obtained by exploiting at best the characteristics of the motorbike. This result will allow you to make technical decisions in the right direction already in the garage, it is possible to verify how to change the performance on a particular track at different elements of frame, gearbox, transmission, engine, etc.., it is crucial to introduce up each track in the best conditions and with the certainty of choosing the most suitable material time to time. In addition to the calculation of the lap time achieved by the rider virtual SET-UP BIKE made:
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS	at any point of the track determines what is the cause that prevents improve the lap time. For each track you can see the most influential factor in percentage, and then concentrate on optimizing that aspect.
THROTTLE LOAD ANALYSIS	show at what points and with that entity is necessary to partial the throttle load, this will have information for the traction control and for driving.
BRAKE ANALYSIS	besides showing the points and the extent of braking and see where the use of the rear brake allows an improvement in performance compared to using only the front brake, so the rider can take them into account while driving.
Together with these aspects SET-UP BIKE is designed to provide essential information for the development of the motorbike such as:
LOAD ON THE TYRES	at any point of the track determines the instantaneous loads acting on the tyres allowing for example to make assessments on the tyre pressure from one track to another, and then to take advantage to use at best the tyre in all conditions.
LOAD ON FRONT FORK and REAR SWINGARM	calculate the instantaneous load on the front fork and the instantaneous torque acting on the rear swingarm, also taking into account the effects of chain shot. This gives you important information on the choice of suspension settings from one track to another, both as regards the amount of springs, both for damping, in fact the trend allows you to see the instantaneous load change and the need or less variable damping in different situations.
BRAKING LOAD	calculate the braking torque that must be provided during the lap, so you can see the stress faced by the brakes on every track and take it into account wear and temperatures.
USE OF AVALAIBLE TYRE GRIP	shows how it is used the available tyre grip, allowing you to take considerations about wear and uniformity of consumption in the different tracks.

The software SET-UP BIKE is therefore essential both to make choices appropriate techniques already in the garage and to provide information crucial to the development of suspension, brakes, tires, etc.. at the variation of the track and its conditions. In the presentation, as well as a more detailed description of the operation and the results calculated by the software, you can see some examples of use for further appreciate the advantages SET-UP BIKE can offer riders and teams.
