Modelling and Simulation in the Design Process of Armored Vehicles

Abstract

The use of modern simulation tools in the development of new armored vehicles permits shorter development times and a reduction in the number of prototypes. This paper shows the importance of virtual prototypes in the development process. Owing to more stringent protection requirements, the design layout of new vehicle concepts is possible only with the help of a complete vehicle simulation. Modelling techniques and simulation methods are presented by the example of mobility and mine protection analyses.
