Abstract

Today’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
