Safety nets are used to protect skiers during downhill competitions. However, although these nets are now able to retain skiers in almost all cases, the deceleration during such impacts can cause severe harm to skiers including ...

Past perceptions to the processes of the penetration mechanisms of projectiles acting on textile structures [1] are often based on continuum models [2] or simplified models [3] and admit only limited conclusions concerning the real ...

Since simulation of complex things like crashing a car becomes more precise and more affordable its only natural that one wants to analyze the results in a way a humans nature can intake complexe data best: visually.

The paper presents a new simulation method for airbags with multiple compartments. In recent years many accidents happened with passengers that were out of position (OOP) when their airbag deployed. Therefore new safety regulations ...

This paper gives after a short introduction a more detailed overview about Model Assembly/Pre-Processing and Results Data Management/Post-Processing.

Tighter markets and tougher competition forces users of IT infrastructure to get the maximum speed and shortest time-to-result out of existing and cost-optimized hardware. With the introduction of LS-Dyna MPP version, new ways to use ...

This paper presents a new preprocessor for the assembly of independently meshed car body parts. The assembly process gains more and more importance in the preprocessing of crash-worthiness simulations. It is desirable to take ...

Since the first applications of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in automotive design this technology has gone a long way to become a standard tool fully integrated in the design process of automotive industry. Strongly promoted by ...

The meshing, modeling and evaluation of LS-DYNA crash models for vehicle crash simulations is constantly subjected to an increase in complexity, since the model sizes grow, several vehicle variants are instanced from one single CAE ...
