- Various deformation shapes of the vehicle body were investigated for the purpose to establish vehicle body's performance criteria which correlates well to handling performance and ride comfort. Using CAE tool, the dynamic behavior of a structure by its modal parameter can be described instead of by its nodes and elements. Each modal characteristic in a dynamic system is reduced by its modal stiffness, its modal mass and its damping parameter in the model. This technology offers not only computational efficiency but also parametric model enabling easy what-if simulation. This reduced model can be obtained by modal test as well as simulation of full FE model. It was also investigated that which mode is sensitive to ride or handling performance using the parameterized model. The body stiffness of the brand new 2010 SONATA was improved on reference to the sensitivity analysis. The ride and handling performance of the 2010 SONATA were verified by computer simulation and vehicle field test
