Due to the increased complexity of modern vehicle control systems accompanied by the demand for shortening the development time, simulation techniques have become a crucial success factor. The most important decisions are already made in a pre-prototype stage. Therefore, it is essential that these decisions can rely on performance tests made with a virtual prototype on the computer. It is illustrated what ADAMS - a mechanical system simulation tool -interfaced with other CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools can contribute to an efficient virtual prototyping approach. Available modeling elements, interfaces to arbitrary simulation environments, and customization of the simulation environment to specific working processes are described. A special toolbox developed for the use in the automotive environment is explained in more detail. It contains a library of automotive components and analysis methods to be used by experienced analysts as well as designers. One objective of the toolbox is that everyone involved in the development process can investigate how component changes affect the overall system behavior. Two application examples are illustrated. First, the steps undertaken for the development of a semi-active suspension control system are discussed. Second, a virtual prototyping environment for slip control systems is outlined.
