Rapid Line Software is a Windows computer program designed to easily calculate and simulate numerous vehicle configurations instantly, allowing users to experiment until the optimum design or combination is found, eliminating time consuming trial-and-error.
Rapid Line Software users vary widely, from professional racers, engineers, universities and vehicle manufacturers to street enthusiasts.
Educational instructors find their students very enthused with Rapid Line Software, while learning important vehicle dynamics at the same time.
Manufacturers of vehicles and performance components find it an excellent aid for conceptual design (prototyping).
Performance speed shops can show their customers on computer how the proposed changes will affect their vehicle, then supply them with a print out.
Last but not least, enthusiasts that just want to have fun using Rapid Line Software, while building their virtual dream machine on computer.
Rapid Line Software works with any powered vehicle, including motorcycles and boats.
ENGINEERING/VEHICLE DESIGN
Rapid prototyping is the name of the game and getting new designs to market before the competition, is the goal. When asked, we need a 2000 lb. vehicle that will go 0-60 in 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 160 and fuel economy of 20 mpg that will hold ground on a 60 foot radius, 5 degree banked curve at 80MPH, designers can quickly produce a working model in Rapid Line Software and know whether or not the request is feasible. Designers can then use Rapid Line Software for the next step, hard parts design engine development, suspension, etc. CAD operators can interact results from Rapid Line Software for manufacturing drawings. Some of our current manufacturing users include GM, Honda R & D and Chrysler.
EDUCATION
Rapid Line Software's use as a teaching tool is extraordinary, and is being used by universities worldwide, including Missouri University of Science & Technology, Birmingham, Calgary, Florida State, Clemson and many trade schools. Additionally, the help system is an instructional product by itself, for example, a student can click on the tool bar and quickly see an explanation of their query. Schools are also using the program for their competition projects like Formula SAE, The Solar Car Challenge and The Super Mileage Race.
RACING
Rapid Line Software is being used in all aspects of racing, from concept to fine tuning the set-up. Performance shops can get an edge by offering their customers a high tech approach to insure the desired outcome. Our new artificial intelligence engine simulator in the PRO version is giving racers the edge needed to win races. From Top fuel teams to the 24 hours of Leman's, Rapid Line Software is helping racing efforts around the globe.
