Popis: In order to analyze the performance of a certain FSAE racing car with rear wing at different attack angles by virtual prototyping technology. The multi-body model of a FSAE racing car which takes non-linear factors into consideration was built by applying ADAMS/Car. The correctness of the model is verified by comparison with the actual experiment result. By the simulation of the air resistance and lift characteristics of the rear wing, a feasible method to building the aerodynamic characteristics of the rear wing in multi-body model was proposed. Based on these, the crosswind stability of FSAE racing car with rear wing at different attack angles was analyzed, the result shows that the effect of crosswind is reduced with the increase of the attack angle of the rear wing.
