Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. uses Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to support many organization areas such as Tire Development, Research, Diversified Products, Manufacturing, Facilities Engineering, etc. This paper will focus on those areas which support the Tire Development process with particular emphasis on Off-Highway and Tractor tires. Most of the techniques are also being applied to support our other tire lines.
