Road courses change direction and go up and down hills. This Model accepts wind and course descriptions, writes the equations of motion for the rider, solves the equations, and presents performance data in the form of plots and tables. Two Input Forms are provided. One has menus of choices for courses and wheels. The other lets you enter raw data.
Response times depend on the complexity of the fundamental integration.
The Est Min Ave Speed parameter controls how long the computation runs. This parameter should be set as close as possible but not greater than the speed you expect from the slowest rider. Responses for the default data take about 5 to 10 seconds. A one-lap evaluation of the Sydney 2000 TT course takes about 30 to 45 seconds. An evaluation of the Ironman Hawaii Course takes about a minute and a half or more.
