Gain access to industry standard real-time software and Driving Simulator environment and boost your team's R&D process.
Welcome to the VI-grade sponsoring initiative for Formula Student teams around the world!
We have initiated our worldwide MotoStudent sponsoring program to support students around the globe in their endeavor to build a more sophisticated race bike. Our software will enable you to gain a competitive advantage through the implementation of advanced technology.
You may apply for up to five Basic Package licenses and one Advanced Package license for your team. In exchange, we ask you to support VI-grade with your marketing efforts. You will have access to a selection of reference material and video tutorials, to help you through your first steps in the VI-BikeRealTime software environment.
"VI-BikeRealTime is a valuable tool for our MotoStudent team. We were able to enhance our capabilities of estimating the loads acting on our prototypes, thanks to the dynamic simulations. It was also incredibly useful to fine tune the setup of the motorcycle, during our on track testing. VI-grade is a key partner in the success of our project."
Matteo Galbusera, Dynamics and Simulation Engineer, Polimi Motorcycle Factory
We have two different software packages in the shelf for you:
Basic Package, containing VI-BikeRealTime with MaxPerformance, which helps racing teams to reduce time needed to find the best set-up for a given bike on a given circuit and to explore more design variants in less time. Additionally, you´ll get access to interfaces to Matlab-Simulink and Hexagon / MSC Adams (Simulink and Adams licenses not provided)
Advanced Package, containing VI-Motorcycle, which integrates a customization for Adams View (Adams license not included) to simplify your workflow and which offers all you need to design a competitive racing bike.
