This work presents a set of methods for simplifying finite element (FE) models without reducing their accuracy in terms of global static and dynamic behavior. The methods were developed to simplify the FE models of carbodies in white without affecting their static and low-frequency dynamics. The simplified models allow structural variations to be theorized and simulated, while accurately representing physical reality.
