Abstract
VADSIM-FEA is a comprehensive axle and driveline system finite
element (FE) modeling tool developed by Visteon Chassis Axle &
Driveline Strategic Business Unit (SBU). By incorporating the best
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Practices and SDRC IDEAS software,
VADSIM-FEA serves as a user-friendly tool in creating complete
driveline system FE models for the purpose of noise, vibration and
harshness (NVH) and component structural analyses. The tool was
successfully used to generate Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)
driveline system FE models as well as its subassemblies resulting
in more than 70% reduction in modeling time. VADSIM-FEA makes
up-front CAE analyses more efficient in fulfilling VPDS (Visteon
Product Development System) objectives.
