Anyone who wants to simulate the behavior of vehicles must think about how they want to model
the vehicle's chassis. Depending on the question (vehicle dynamics ride comfort load data
prediction ...) there are a variety of possibilities. This book should help to find and
implement the right models and processes. In addition to a short introduction to simulation
technology the most important types of modelling for the assemblies of the chassis using the
method of multi-body systems are presented. However successful simulation does not only mean
the assembly of suitable models but always represents a well thought-out process that goes
from data acquisition to the validation of the models. This will be discussed using suitable
examples for concrete questions.
