Real‐time simulation models are widely used for vehicle development, usually built up as rigid multibody systems. However, since lightweight structures are commonly used, body deformation is no longer negligible and rigid multibody simulations may be inaccurate. This work presents a real‐time capable full vehicle model with a flexible car body, derived from a finite element model, whose performance has been improved by model order reduction.
