FE-Models
Arup and Oasys have been involved in developing FE model for use
with LS-DYNA for over 10 years, and produces its own range of barrier
and pedestrian impactor models. We are also distributors for the various
dummy models produced by Humanetics , FAT and LSTC.

| Working in collaboration, Arup and Cellbond have
developed a range of LS-DYNA finite element models based on the
aluminium honeycomb barriers produced by Cellbond. |

| Since the introduction of EU legislation in 2005 pedestrian impact
analysis has become more important. However this task cannot be
undertaken without the right tools. To this end, Arup has developed
a family of pedestrian impactor finite element models for use |

Thatcham, the IIHS, and other insurance groups around the world carry out low speed bumper impacts to assess
the reparability of different cars. The main barrier used in these tests was developed by the Research Council
for Automobile Repair (RCAR).
Arup have now developed an FE model of this barrier for use in CAE analysis.

| Humanetics Innovative Solutions (formally FTSS) have been developing finite element
models (initial in collaboration with Arup) based on its physical
Anthropomorphic Test Devices used in car crash testing since 1995. |

| DYNAmore GmbH in conjunction with the German Association for Automotive
Research (FAT) have developed several validated side impact dummy
models based on physical Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATD) used
in car crash testing. |

| LSTC produce a range of free available dummy models that are suitable
for basic loading analysis. These include both rigid and semi-deformable
models. |
