Vehicle dynamics is a major field of study when it comes to modelling and simulating vehicle performance regarding isolation and control. Traditionally, these performance aspects were analysed using classical vehicle dynamics approaches that are developed for ages and proved to be quite helpful and insightful.

Another way of approaching the problem is by treating the vehicle as a generic multi-body system, where the vehicle systems of interest are modelled as rigid/flexible bodies connected together via joints, bushes and force elements.
Another way of approaching the problem is by treating the vehicle as a generic multi-body system, where the vehicle systems of interest are modelled as a set of rigid/flexible bodies connected together via joints, bushes and force elements. This approach can be considered as a high-fidelity modelling approach that abstracts the physical system in a more realistic -but complex- manner. This opens the doors for the next level of simulations ...

This repository aims to provide:

- A full-featured database of multi-body system models commonly used in developing **Formula Student** vehicles.
- A showcase of the **uraeus** open-source framework capabilities, and a "How To" use it in real-world modelling situations.
