Abstract

The urgent issues for automobile companies today are how to reduce the time and cost required for developing a new car. CAE has been regarded as an efficient way to solve these issues, and as a numerical experiment to replace prototypes and experiments. In this paper, the makeup of unit modules of CAE simulation platform for light weight design of automobile body and its function frame are given, As an example, the structural performance simulation integration and light weight design of motor coach is researched. And how to create simulation frame, analysis and evaluation system supported by CAE software is introduced when developing lightweight automobile. Practical application has indicated this simulation platform can supply effective technology support for the development of product.
