Abstract This article describes the use of a custom‐made vehicle dynamics simulation program throughout 5 years as a support for teaching the subject of “Road Vehicles Theory.” A complete three‐dimensional model was developed. A deeper understanding of vehicle dynamics concepts has been achieved and valuable help has been provided to solve complex problems. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
