Abstract
Simulation technology for physical testing of structures with real-time servo-hydraulic test systems is used widely in the automotive industry.
This paper presents a practical approach to shorten product development duration by integrating laboratory simulation technology into vehicle development methodology.
The approach is applied to automotive body and suspension development, to provide design feedback and confidence at a very early stage in the development process.
The paper includes an assessment of current and emerging simulation technologies in relevant areas.
