Scientific Support of Computer-Aided Design and Virtual Testing of Automotive and Tractor Machinery

Abstract

Basic results representing the extension of engineering computer technology for design and virtual testing used in Republic computer centre of mechanical engineering for the development of new vehicles and machinery are presented. Outlined some representative examples of computational research showing their results accuracy. Made a conclusion of the engineering technologies use for the development of multilink truck equipped with the links having steering control and active drive. Future research and development plans of the centre are indicated.
