Summary
Chrysler Corporation’s product design and development efforts rely heavily on an extensive network of computers for computer-aided design, engineering, manufacturing, and testing (CAD/CAE/CAM/CAT). Since virtually all proposed vehicle goemetry is stored on the system, it can be used for engineering applications such as structural analysis, crash simulation, and aerodynamic computations. This paper describes the computer environment at Chrysler and the techniques being developed to support crash and aerodynamic simulation on Chrysler’s CYBER 205 computer.
