Safety Tools
New Features
- Seatbelt Tensioning
- This new feature allows the simulation of a tensioning process on a seatbelt segment directly in HyperMesh to improve the quality of the belt path and remove slack between dummy and belt. This feature is available in HyperWorks only.
- Airbag Solutions
- A new Airbag Solutions ribbon is introduced in HyperWorks. It contains a suite of workflows to perform a complete airbag folding process: airbag patches stitching, airbag folds and airbag fit into housing. Each step of the airbag folding process uses Radioss, providing high folding results accuracy.
Enhancements
- THOR Dummy and IRTRACC manipulation
- For THOR dummy, which contains IRTRACC kinematic systems, the dummy and mechanism tools are automatically coupled to allow the motion of the dummy by considering the mechanisms defined on the IRTRACCs. Furthermore, the positions of the IRTRACC mechanisms are also considered during the export of the dummy pre-simulation decks to simulate the IRTRACC positioning.
- Pedestrian Tool
- The following enhancements are made in the Pedestrian tool:
- Windshield Periphery Detection function for EuroNCAP will automatically detect default green zone on windshield.
- Ability to export only target csv file for selected impact point.
- GTR marking will automatically create Corner of Gauge Block.
- EuroNCAP/CNCAP/ EuroNCAP 2022-2023/CNCAP 2021 pedestrian marking will create lower leg limit by bumper beam and plane touch point.
- Null beams creation for all marking lines through marking options
- Separate step size at marking option for Side Reference Lines
- Enhanced marking logic for Bonnet Rear Reference Line for active hood condition.
Resolved Issues
- Added correction while creating Radioss XREF in the pre-simulation tools to generate it only on components defined in the H3D file.
- Resolved issue while creating Ball Joint (By Positions) in Mechanism.
- 5th attribute value “-3” on the first line of the MECHANISM data written by Primer V17 is now supported.
