In previous times, the dynamics of a car body and its design were done manually. This was subjected to a lot of errors and took a lot of time. The analysis was also done manually on real automobiles which resulted in a major loss of resources and cost a lot of money. This was subjected to lot of errors and took a lot of time. To reduce the probability of error occurrence, computer applications were developed to design automobiles and their features. The design of automotive systems using simulation tools features cost reduction and quality enhancement. The evolution of computer aided design (CAD) systems and related technologies has promoted the development of software for chassis modelling. It visualizes the main outputs of the model, which consist in numeric data and graphic elements. This reduces the simulation time dramatically and enables the optimization process to come to successful results. The following paper presents the method of modelling and design of the car body using modern software tools, to obtain as much as possible a realistic model suitable for further analysis. The work is based on elements of aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics and impact of external influences on it. This paper presents the procedures for obtaining the results from a combination of more modern tools (CCM+), which is certainly a trend in modern ways of designing and constructing.
