Dear FSAE and Formula Student competition participant,

Here are some of the many questions often asked by Formula Students participants:
- Does my suspension stiffness and damping match my tire properties?
- How do I get a lot of mechanical grip, a good transient response, low ride heights….and not hit the ground?
- What does frequency response theoretically and practically mean?
- How to create and efficiently use a Bode Diagram?
- How to define and quantify what your damper settings will do on your tire grip and your driver feedback?
- What is your real “magic number” (or TLLTD) compared to your simplified steady state spreadsheet calculations?

OptimumG and TRE (former Team Rosberg Engineering) have joined forces and are proud to introduce an innovative educational workshop topic: Understanding Multi-Post Vehicle Vibrational Testing & Extracting Maximum Vehicle Performance from a Multi-Post Test. This workshop will give you the answers to these questions…and to many others.

This workshop will take place at TRE in Neustadt/Weinstrasse, Germany on September 30th and October 1st and 2nd

This unique workshop will be conducted exclusively for students with a Formula Student car on the Seven Post Rig.

The current workshop content is spread over 3 days and covers the following topics:
1. Steady State & Transient Vehicle Handling Fundamentals
2. Damper Technology
3. Damper Testing (with demonstration on damper dyno)
4. Damper Dyno Test Result Analysis
5. 7 Post Rig Testing Theory & Preparation
6. 7 Post Rig Testing In Practice & Application (with demonstration on TRE’s new 7 post rig)
7. 7 Post Rig Test Data Analysis (and how to improve your car suspension with such analysis)
8. 7 Post Rig “Do and Don’t”
9. Advantages and Limitations of 7 Post Rig Tests
10. Vibrational Modeling & Simulation
11. How to Apply 7 Post Rig Test Results and Analysis to On-Track Race Car Engineering.

TRE and OptimumG are two reputed vehicle dynamics companies with theoretical knowledge and proved experience. Four of their engineers will share with you their experience, give you advice for your next year car design and tuning and answer all your questions.

Congratulations to KIT for being chosen by Team Rosberg Engineering (TRE) to run their car on TRE’s 7 Post rig during the workshop organized by TRE and OptimumG.

The data and analysis that is gathered will be made available to the workshop participants. This will be a great opportunity for students to understand the theory and best practice of suspension stiffness, damping, and vehicle dynamic transient behavior.

If you want to learn what frequency response is, there are still a few seats left for this workshop that will occur on September 30th, October 1st, and 2nd.
