Occupant Simulation in Ansys LS-DYNA

Overview

This course overviews how to setup and quickly modify airbags, seatbelts, seats, and dummy positioning. We will discuss setting up and modifying occupant restraints in a sled environment using LS-Prepost. Workshops will be used to illustrate these concepts at a fundamental level. Upon completion, you will be able to design and develop your own sled studies for evaluating restraint systems.

Learning Outcome

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the basic keywords required to setup the restraint systems and CAE models of ATD developed by LST.
• Use one element models, simple models to understand how the solver processes information in the background.
• Familiarize with errors that can or will occur during this process.
• Modularize the systems to keep the original input unedited.
• Convert a full vehicle model into a conceptual subsystem model.
• Utilize CAE to drive design process and not number crunch.
