1 STRUCTURES / LS-DYNA Models // / Barrier Models • Barrier models for most Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) test scenarios. • Additional barriers are available to go beyond FMVSS requirements. • Models are validated with publicly available data and proprietary tests obtained f rom customers. • Solid and shell mesh models of most barriers are available. / Dummy Models • Dummy models cover most automotive regulations. • Models are validated with publicly available data and proprietary tests obtained f rom customers. • Coarse and detailed mesh models are available. (left to right) Hybrid III 50 th male, Hybrid III 5 th female and WorldSID 50 th are commonly used dummy models. A look at barrier models — (left to right) Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier, Oblique/Small Overlap Moving Deformable Barrier and FMVSS 214 Barrier. Other dummy models include Free Motion Headform (left) and Hybrid III 6-year-old (right). LS-DYNA Models Ansys LS-DYNA — the most used explicit simulation program — offers a wide range of dummy, barrier and tire models for automotive collision testing. Featuring a vast array of capabilities to simulate extreme deformation problems using its explicit solver, LS-DYNA enables you to model material failure and analyze how the failure progresses through a part or system. LS-DYNA models are available free of charge to current licensees and are provided in unencrypted, fully accessible formats and include a manual. STRUCTURES
