A computer-implemented method for rapidly designing a vehicle package is disclosed. The method receives virtual vehicle package model data, converts the data into mechanical vehicle package model data and transmits the data to a mechanical vehicle package model system. A method is also disclosed for adjusting the mechanical model, converting the adjustment into data readable by a computer aided design system and transmitting the data to the computer aided design system for generating or modifying the virtual vehicle package. A system for designing a vehicle package is disclosed having a mechanical vehicle package model, a computer aided design system, a translator embodied in a computer system in communication with the computer aided design system and a mechanical vehicle package model in communication with the translator.
