Title: Chassis design software
Post by: mfgreen on November 21, 2004, 09:46:23 AM
If you are interested in how your chassis measures up and what inherent benefits and anomalies exist within the current design, you may want to download this free software and do your own calculations.

about Tony Foale:

Tony Foale B.Tech, M.Eng.Sc, C.Dip.A.F.

Educated in Australia, Tony graduated with a degree in electrical engineering,  followed by a M.Eng.Sc. in nuclear engineering.  He worked at a research establishment, creating mathematical models and subsequent computer programmes for performance analysis of various mechanical and aerodynamic systems.  Some of this period was spent as leader of a team developing mathematical techniques for the prediction of human response in situations not unlike those applicable to motorcycle and car driving tasks.

This was then followed by a period as a project engineer with a car manufacturer.  From there he moved to a nuclear research lab. Providing mechanical and electronic design services for research departments.  At the same establishment he later moved into a research team as group leader developing original finite element solutions for failure prediction in some unusual machinery.

Moving back to England in 1971 (driven by his passion for racing motorcycles).  He followed a short spell as factory manager with a F1 car racing team, with 18 months at Lloyd

Oh geez, don't know what compelled me to start reading the bio of some Brit who has weather issues.

Aw shucks JC.  If I could find a blushing smiley there'd be one stuck here now.  Warm fuzzies or not, however, just know that if you do pass through this area and don't holler first  the bad smileys will be out there looking for you [smiley=rifle.gif] .  I've got a spare room and will share a hunk of asphalt with you anytime.
