The use of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools from the Conceptual Design stage can lead to reduced production time and cost, while it can also help attribute leaders to more efficiently achieve the desired vehicle specifications.CAE tools can facilitate engineers to design, modify, calibrate and optimize their designs in an early development phase. Therefore, physical testing during the development process of a new vehicle can be reduced; methods can be developed, which can facilitate physical testing scenarios in virtual environments using simulation software.Automotive industry is aiming towards vehicle verification using Simulation software rather than physical prototype testing. This thesis aims to develop CAE methods for Vehicle dynamics related to active safety features.
