To assess a vehicle, tests are carried out under comparable conditions. For this purpose, accurately specified barrier and dummies are used as test devices. DYNAmore develops and distributes the FE models of these test devices.
Humanetics develops validated dummy models based on their physical anthropomorphic test devices (ATD), that are used in car crash testing all over the world.
The BioRID 2 model is used for the investigation of seat performance under rear impact loads, with the focus on the prediction of whiplash injuries. It is developed by DYNAmore.
Humanetics and DYNAmore developed validated child models based on their physical anthropomorphic test devices. These models are used in frontal and side impacts all over the world.
Different developers support LS-DYNA models of the pedestrian impactors; Humanetics, OASYS (Ove Arup SYStems) and a consortium of Daimler, Porsche, Lasso and Peng (DPLP).
Glass structures have to comply with several requirements relating to different loading scenarios and design variations. For that purpose, the deformable pendulum model was developed.
