From an historical point of view, RENAULT was using since decades an in-house Ride and Handling tool called MADA. This tool was essentially oriented to early phases of vehicle design even before a MBS tool designs the axles. Due to more common vehicle platforms with NISSAN and thus the need to exchange, putting in place common tools and common processes becomes important. Looking to company organization and existing models, architecting and translating the models within the new authoring tool was performed with given fixed I/Os called interface contracts. Different modeling complexity was developed for each box within the architectures forming the basis of a collection of scalable models. A data management makes the links between the models, their corresponding parameter sets, some in-house scripts or dedicated applications for pre and post processing. An agnostic tool reads and uses the data repository to finally generate the end user environment fully dedicated to Ride and Handling in-house processes. RENAULT is mastering the complete generation of its new Ride and Handling platform and is able to modify by its own the architectures, the model complexity, the pre and post processing, GUIs… The next generation of in-house platform is now ready for electric and autonomous vehicle challenges and model sharing across the organization thanks to tool standardization including data management and automated processes.
