MotorSim 2: Precision Performance Calculator for Land Vehicles
(Engineering-Grade Simulation Tool – Not a Game)
🛠️ Advanced Vehicle Modeling Engine
MotorSim 2 leverages physics-based multi-body dynamics and real-time numerical integration to deliver industry-grade performance predictions. Designed for engineers, tuners, and motorsport analysts, it models the full longitudinal performance chain with sub-millisecond accuracy.
🔧 Configurable Vehicle Parameters (High-Fidelity Input)
1. Engine System
- Peak Power Output: User-defined (kW/hp) at specified RPM
- Torque Curve: Fully customizable via 10–20-point graph input (torque vs. RPM)
- Power Curve: Automatically derived from torque and RPM; supports non-monotonic behavior
- Redline & Rev Limit: Adjustable RPM threshold with configurable safety margin
- Inertia & Spool Delay: Models turbo lag (with user-defined lag time and boost curve)
2. Drivetrain & Transmission
- Gear Ratios: Up to 10 forward gears + reverse (user-defined ratios)
- Final Drive Ratio: Adjustable for differential setups (open, limited-slip, locking)
- Shift Logic: Manual, semi-auto, or automatic (with programmable shift maps)
- Shift Time: Adjustable duration (0.1s–1.2s) with customizable ramp profiles
- Transmission Efficiency: 92%–98% (user-adjustable per gear; accounts for friction losses)
3. Vehicle Dynamics & Aerodynamics
- Frontal Area (A): 1.8–3.2 m² (adjustable per body style)
- Drag Coefficient (Cd): 0.25–0.50 (user-defined or load from NACA/CD database)
- Rolling Resistance Coefficient (Crr): 0.010–0.025 (adjustable for tire type, pressure, road surface)
- Total Vehicle Mass: 1,000–3,500 kg (user-defined with optional weight distribution %)
- Tire Dimensions & Grip: Select from radial, performance, or slicks; enter μ (coefficient of friction) or peak lateral grip (g-force)
📊 Performance Analytics – Real-World Accuracy
MotorSim 2 computes theoretically precise performance metrics using:
- Differential Equation Solvers (Runge-Kutta 4th order)
- Force Balance Modeling: F_total = F_engine – F_drag – F_rolling – F_inertia
- Longitudinal Acceleration Integration over time
✅ Output Metrics:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Theoretical Top Speed | Max velocity at redline, 1st gear, and full power (includes aerodynamic limit) |
| 0–60 km/h (0–37 mph) | Time to reach 60 km/h (standard benchmark) |
| 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) | Standard acceleration test (0–100 km/h in 3.8s = supercar tier) |
| 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) | High-performance indicator (e.g., hypercar, track-focused vehicle) |
| Quarter-Mile ET & Trap Speed | Realistic drag strip simulation (±0.05s accuracy vs. real-world data) |
| G-Force Profile | Plot of longitudinal acceleration (g) vs. time/speed |
| Tachometer & Speedometer Curves | Real-time trace over simulation duration |
| Gear Shift Heatmap | Visualization of gear engagement duration and RPM at shift points |
