Automotive component manufacturers are required to validate their product reliability by assessing their mechanical endurance through predefined by the car manufacturer test procedures. A possible way to avoid (or to decrease their number) failures is to use Virtual Prototyping (VP) techniques. This study aims to present a methodology for random vibration endurance test of automotive component using virtual prototyping, based on common engineering analysis tools. There is a certain number of specialized tools for this type of testing but they require directed investment that are not accessible for every automotive industry subcontractor. This is demonstrated by a case study from the automotive industry - a cluster assembly (dashboard).
