Hand drawing and representation of various images engraved in stones or physical models built to scale come from the beginning of the human kind. The history of civilization presents many forms of representations based on the human imaginations. Nowadays the engineers create a technique to draw and design ideas by rules in ISO standards. If at the beginning of the last century the creation of industrial technical drawings was realized by crayon with very original results, in present, the computer aided threedimensional design is widespread and introduced in digital mock-up processes. The integrated 3D-CAD design is used since the early automotive development processes. This paper presents the use of 3D modeling and analysis of automotive components to reduce cost and time in the concept phase of development.
