Architecture definition and validation in turn requires a quick and accurate evaluation of a system‟s overall performance. Modeling and simulating a complete vehicle system, however, is complex and in many cases was either technically not achievable or simply has been omitted within the development process. It is the utmost challenge in system modeling and simulation to realistically reflect interaction of various electrical, mechanical, thermal, and software elements as attributed to individual system modules and their relations. State-of-the-art tools meanwhile bear this capability. In this paper we present an approach how they may effectively and efficiently be incorporated into a car system development process. To accomplish this target, we „virtualize‟ all system entities while defining and reflecting all relevant system aspects. Our proposed development flow allows simulating, evaluating, and validating complete vehicle systems and their behavior. The proposed flow will sustainably change car system development processes.
