Could be skelekton or wireframe Looking at another word you have here, "ordonnancement", I got the following technical definition:

Ensemble des processus de déclenchement et de contrôle d’une commande, du moment de la fabrication jusqu’à l’expédition.

So it seems a very specific use. Does that use agree with your context?

There is also the more general definition, although it's considered a language level "soutenu":

Action d’agencer selon un ordre déterminé; façon dont une chose est ordonnée.

In this case it's just a kind of more literary synonym for order.

In the first case, I would decant for skelekton in a specific manufacturing process and in the second case, I would say it's more probable it couild be a wireframe model.

Plus, the reference to formulas indicate it could be some CAD model with resistance or similar formulas.

This word comes in this as well."la gestion des squelettes avec association deformules, la définition du contenu des squelettes et l’ordonnancement du contenu." Can I use frame or frame work in this context ?

There really isn't enough context here. "Automobiles" is a clue, and I assume this is describing a CAD package, but we can't help without more to go on.
