The paper presents a methodology and its application for virtual prototyping in the design and development of low platform container flat rail cars in India. This is achieved using Nucars and Adams Rail software. The optimization of suspension design through simulation, resulting in successful oscillation trials at 110 kmph is demonstrated. Finite element models are developed to analyze structural integrity of the under frame as well as the bolster of the rail car using DISP3 and NISA software. This procedure completely eliminates the need of fabrication and testing of prototypes at the development stage. This methodology is useful for developing better quality rail cars at low design cycle cost and time and gives a cutting edge over competitors.
