Abstract
AbstractToday’s automotive industry is characterized by a high product diversification in combination with decreasing times-to-market. This leads to high demands on product development processes and assumes the application of multidisciplinary and flexible virtual product development tools and methods. The present publication introduces to the challenges of conceptual full-vehicle development and discusses the ability of applying a centralized product master model by an exemplarily illustration of a 3D- CAD approach. As a key aspect of this publication, a method for the support of geometrical full-vehicle development processes (e.g. geometrical integration, vehicle packaging) during early product generation phases is presented and discussed in detail.
