Safety Menu

Lists options for crash safety modeling.

Restriction: The menu has minor modifications depending on the solver that is loaded.
Table 1.
Airbags Create, edit and review airbags.
Seat Mechanism Opens the Mechanism Browser to create and articulate a kinematic mechanism.
Dummy Positioner Opens the Dummy Browser to position a dummy model.
Pre-Simulation(Seat Deformer) Export an input deck, for the appropriate solver, in order to simulate the deformation of the seat under the dummy. Only available in the Radioss and LS-DYNA solvers.
Occupant Shortcut to the Dummy Positioning panel for dummy articulation and positioning.
Sensor Opens the Create sensors dialog.
Seat Belts Opens the Seatbelt Browser to create a complete seatbelt system.
Retractor Create, edit and review retractors on nodes through the Mass panel with elem types set to RETRACTOR.
Pretensioner Create, edit and review retractors on nodes through the Mass panel with elem types set to PRETENSION. (LS-DYNA only)
Sliprings Create, edit and review sliprings on nodes through the Mass panel with elem types set to SLIPRING. (PAM-CRASH)
Slip Ring Create, rename and renumber slip rings. (LS-DYNA)
FMVSS 201/ECE-R21 Opens a Process Manager tab. Only available in the Radioss and LS-DYNA solvers.
Pedestrian Impact Automates the vehicle marking, impactors positioning and the export of solver decks with minimal input, therefore reducing the full process lead time. Only available in the LS-DYNA and Radioss solvers.
