Issues involved in the automation of the mathematical modelling of multi-body systems with special reference to road vehicle dynamics problems are discussed and reviewed. Some background and historical informations are provided. Those aspects of road vehicle dynamics problems that are of greatest concern from the point of multi-body modelling and rapid simulation are then considered. Various foundations for the equations of motion of multi-body systems and the treatment of constraints are described and some of the implications of methods chosen are exposed. Significant aspects of the modes of operation of the main relevant numerical and symbolic multi-body modelling codes are addressed. Conclusions are reached on the present state of multi-body modelling as relating to road vehicle dynamics and some thoughts on strategies for effectiveness in the future are offered. A substantial reference list, through which the topic can be pursued in greater detail, is included.
