This research aims to develop a new vehicle ride comfort simulation technology. The basic principle of pseudo-excitation method (PEM) is summarized, and the specific method of PEM is proposed to solve the finite element model (FEM) of vehicle. Taking a simple 7-degree-of-freedom (DOF) car spatial model as an example, the traditional and new methods are compared. Simulation results show that they are completely consistent, thereby verifying the effectiveness of the new method. At the same time, through the simulation process, the new method is simpler and more efficient without deducing complex mathematical formulas and software programming. Finally, the ride comfort simulation of a car’s complex FEM is performed. FEM can consider the parts of the vehicle as elastic bodies and closer to the real vehicle. The PEM transforms random vibration analysis into simple harmonic vibration analysis, which improves the efficiency of the solution greatly. Therefore, the combination of the FEM and the PEM cannot only solve the problem of model accuracy but also the problem of solving efficiency, which has strong practical engineering application value.
