In this study, a vehicle dynamic analysis program AUTODYN7(AUTOmobil DYNamics in G7) is developed and introduced. An efficient and systematic formulation for dynamics of spatial multibody systems with flexible bodies is presented using the Velocity Transformation technique. In order to reduce the number of elastic coordinates. elastic deformations are represented by the vibration normal modes obtained from finite element analysis. A pre-processor which transforms input data from ADAMS or DADS to AUTODYN7 is also developed.<br/>
