The computational analysis of advanced mechatronic vehicles requires complex simulation models as provided by multibody system codes. Moreover, the design of such systems demands multi-objective parameter optimization tools. This paper describes the simulation and design environment based on the multibody system code SIMPACK. As a case study the Bombardier ILTIS vehicle is 'equipped' with active control loops with and without preview sensors. The multi-objective parameter optimization study using nonlinear and linear analysis methods demonstrates the feasibility of such a complex optimization strategy. Moreover, it indicates the potentials of active suspensions with preview sensors. It, last not least, reveals possible misleadings of an optimization based on reduced linear design models.
