Abstract
Identifying the right architecture that can be repurposed for multiple vehicle variants is strategically important for automotive manufactures trying to reduce time to market & consolidate engineering effort.
We can imagine two kinds of data. A detailed body model, which achieves computational accuracy but very complex and expensive for iterative studies. The other one is a simplified architecture concept model that simulates the basic layout and general structural behavior of major load-carrying members in the body. Such models are valuable for CAE validated design directions in the earliest phases of the vehicle development process.
