Integration of Interdisciplinary Partial Models into the Dynamic Vehicle Simulation

This paper points out the possibilities and capabilities of modern simulation tools. Furthermore it sensitizes the topic of global view of total system beyond the discipline. Special emphasis is placed on the coupling of tools to form an efficient development and simulation environment.

As exemplary implementations a dynamic total vehicle model with active suspensions and with consideration of exact elastic component behavior of the stabilizer bars is presented. The models are all created using modern, commercially available tools.

To give another aspect to efficient development and simulation environments some hints to the progress of real time applications are made.

Finally preliminary and exemplary simulation results are discussed.
