HyperCrash allows you to import and position an FTSS dummy. The process is similar to that when working within the LS-DYNA profile.
| 1. | Import the dummy file using the File menu. |
| 2. | From the Safety menu, select Dummy Positioner [NEW]. |
The dummy parts are listed in a hierarchy in the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel.
| 3. | Click the names of body sections to expand in order to display the parts that make up each section. |
| 4. | Click a part listed in the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel to highlight it in the graphic area. |
In the lower section of the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel, the Max Stop, Current, and Min Stop values for the currently selected part are displayed.
| 5. | Change the angles by using the up or down arrows for each value, by typing in values directly, or by clicking  and using the mouse to manipulate the object graphically. |
| Note: | If the values for the degree of freedom are 'grayed out,' they cannot be changed. |
Control the H-point.
The H-point is controlled by manipulating the model at the top level in the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel.
| 1. | Select the top level item of the file in the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel. |
| 2. | With the H-Point menu set to Select Node, click the node selection button ( ) in the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel, and then select a node in the model display. |
| 3. | Enter values in the Rx:, Ry:, and Rz: fields to manipulate the rotation of the dummy. |
or
With the H-Point menu set to Enter Coordinates, enter coordinates for Hx:, Hy:, and Hz:.
| Note: | To see more information about the alpha, beta, and theta for each part, click the expand arrows (  ) at the upper-right hand corner of the Dummy Posit[FTSS] panel. |
