Assessment of Full Width Deformable Barrier Test and CAE
Simulations
Dr. Jerome Coulton, Hyundai Motor Europe Technical
Center GmbH
Vehicle compatibility is on the Euro-NCAP road map and has
been the subject for research by both in Europe
(VC-COMPAT) and the US (NHTSA). This paper details the development
of
an automated method to assess and compare test
and CAE data with respect to the proposed FWDB test defined
by European
Enhanced Vehicle Safety Committee Working Group
15 and also the full width rigid barrier (with high resolution
load cell
wall) by NHTSA. The output of the project was
a fully interactive HyperWorks plug-in which allows the user
to animate, interrogate
and compare both test and CAE data.
