The context:
Le train arrière est un essieu souple à épure programmée. L’essieu, désormais à profil fermé, permet une augmentation de la raideur en torsion tout en allégeant le véhicule.
I have a translation of the above text into English that is obviously incorrect:
The rear suspension is based on a programmed flexible beam using a closed section beam that combines stiffer torsional performance and light weight.

Note from asker:
| Could you provide the translation for the whole text below. I have to translate it from English to Estonian, but the English text is a poor translation from French: Le train arrière est un essieu souple à épure programmée. L’essieu, désormais à profil fermé, permet une augmentation de la raideur en torsion tout en allégeant le véhicule. |

: In most CAD packages these days, the "épure" can be animated in a way consistent with the laws of physics and the constraints of the problem.
