Comments

  1. Material Law 19 must be used with /PROP/TYPE9 (SH_ORTH) (Orthotropic shell element).
  2. The reduction factor RE is used to ease the Young's modulus when the airbag fabric is in compression:

    clip0060
    Figure 1.
  3. Fscale_Por is used in LAW19 with surf_IDin > 0 in either the /MONVOL/FVMBAG (Obsolete) or /MONVOL/FVMBAG1 card, to define internal surface porosity ranging from 0 (no porosity) up to 1 (full porosity).
  4. The sens_ID is used only with ZeroStress > 0 and reference state geometry. This ensures the stability of the mesh deformed from the reference configuration. The pre-constrained state will be released at the time determined by the sensor activation. This is useful for airbags with a delayed expansion time.
