This paper illustrates the application of the most advanced CAE tools in the modelling and simulation of disc brake caliper system as an assembly. The modelling strategy, correlation with bench deflection and strain gauge measurement are presented. The ability of modelling disc brake system as an assembly and simulating brake application offers tremendous advantages over the traditional component level modelling in determining component interaction, load path and load transfer and in obtaining more accurate performance characteristics, strength and durability.
