MotorSim 2: Performance Calculator for Land Vehicles

MotorSim 2 is an advanced performance simulator for land vehicles (note: this is a physics simulation tool, not a driving game). It calculates vehicle performance during straight-line acceleration while allowing complete technical configuration.

Key Features

The application includes an interactive simulation dashboard featuring:

• Real-time speedometer and tachometer
• Virtual throttle and brake controls
• Manual or automatic transmission operation
• Procedurally generated engine sound (algorithm-based, not sampled)
• Visualization of vehicle position on a 1/4 mile track
• Ghost vehicle function for performance comparison between configurations

Configurable Vehicle Parameters

• Engine Specifications:
  • Maximum power output
  • Customizable power curve (point-by-point definition)
  • Torque curve (automatically calculated from power curve)
  • Maximum engine RPM (includes ignition cutoff simulation)
• Transmission:
  • Gear configuration (supports up to 10 gears)
  • Shift time parameters
  • Transmission efficiency
• Vehicle Dynamics:
  • Aerodynamic resistance (Cx coefficient)
  • Frontal area
  • Rolling resistance coefficients
  • Total vehicle weight
• Wheel/Tire:
  • Tire size specifications

Performance Metrics Calculated

• Theoretical maximum speed
• Acceleration times (0-60, 0-100, 0-200, 0-300 km/h or mph)
• Quarter-mile time and speed
• All measurable performance parameters available through interactive simulation

MotorSim 2 provides automotive enthusiasts, engineers, and students with precise physics-based performance calculations for vehicle development, testing hypotheses, and performance analysis.
