Summary:

With an increasing demand to reduce the product development timecycle from concept-to-vehicle, weight saving effort and lessprototype initiative, CAE evaluation technique in the vehicledurability development must allow the computer simulation toreproduce the actual driving condition over a proving ground.This paper describes the case study to predict the durabilityperformance of full vehicle using vehicle FE parts in ADAMS model.The objective is to carry out full vehicle simulation in actualroad load condition using reduced full vehicle FE model, condensedwith the ADAMS model. The measured acceleration is applied to thevehicle FE model and dynamic loads converted to equivalent staticloads. The FE model solved in MSC.Nastran® with number of staticload subcases converted from the measured proving ground roaddata.It also verifies the validity of the evaluation methodologies bysimulation-to-experiment comparisons. The validation demonstrates ahigh correlation with experiment and a viable CAE evaluation of thedurability performance.Two case studies will be presented to show the application ofthis methodology to full vehicle systems for vehicle durabilityapplications
