Drivetrain and suspension systems in modern vehicles are becoming increasingly sophisticated and the refinement performance standards more stringent. The implications for vehicle design changes in terms of program delay and cost are now so onerous that much greater demands are being made of computer aided engineering. This paper describes how a mathematical model of a drivetrain can be constructed and used as a design and development tool. I-DEAS SYSTAN is used to build a model which is correlated to test results and is subjected to a number of excitations representing forces in the drivetrain. These range from simple unbalances to forces due to spigot runout and coupling stiffness variation. These are illustrated by an example of the use of the model to confirm the controlling elements of dynamic behaviour to assess the effect of design changes, and to obtain an understanding of the sensitivity of the system to variation in chosen parameters.
