Any CAE Crash analyst knows, positioning an impactor for the simulation of impacts on multiple points on an Instrumental Panel (IP) with respect to the FMVSS201 or ECE-R21 regulations, is a task that can take a lot of time when performed manually.

In HyperWorks 2022.1, we officially released our new FMVSS201/ECE-R21 Tool, which fully automates the marking and impactor positioning procedures. It provides a fast, robust, repeatable process and the ability to export ready-to-run solver decks for all impact points on the IP.

The new 2022.1 version provides further key enhancements in existing safety tools:

  • addition of the Roof Crush plate positioning in the Barrier Positioning Tool
  • improved control of wrap components for belt mesh generation
  • automatic update of full seatbelt system when selecting new belt path
  • physical test scan data plotting for MPDB post-processing

Along with Safety Tools enhancements, this new HyperWorks version offers also interesting new features in explicit solver interfaces:

  • Import of compressed input deck files (.gz) for LS-Dyna and Radioss
  • New LS-Dyna R13.0 profile
  • New Systems creation workflow
  • New Constraint entity for the support of /MERGE/RBODY in Radioss and *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION_SPOTWELD in LS-Dyna
  • New Material Behaviors entity for all *MAT_ADD keywords in LS-Dyna and direct integration in all *MAT keywords entity editor

For more details, take a look at this video.

Feel free to comment!

Best regards,

Vincent
