About the Course

In passive safety vehicle simulations, the usage of dummy models has become standard for a long time. The increasing requirements in many different load cases require a realistic behavior of the numerical models. In this course, the participants learn fundamental as well as more advanced ways of handling dummy models. The required Structural Mechanics (VPS)/PAM-SAFE options are introduced by theoretical and practical applications. For pre-and post-processing, Visual-Crash-Pam (VCP), as well as Visual-Viewer, will be used. Special focuses in the course for selected topics may be defined on request.

Audience
