Abstract
Virtual performance test of automobile with a driving simulator is proposed in this paper. Multibody dynamics is applied to our driving simulator for precise analysis of automobile behavior. The estimation of suspension setting with driving simulator can be achieved by multibody dynamics. Real-time analysis of multibody dynamics is a key technology of this proposal. Some performance tests with developed driving simulator were executed, and it was shown that the estimation of dynamics characteristics of automobile is possible with developed driving simulator.
