EEVC Offset Deformable Barrier - Shell Element Model

This barrier is used in the EU front impact regulation and by several consumer test organisations such as Euro NCAP and the IIHS in their front offset impact test.

This more advanced model of the Offset Deformable Barrier is modelled using shell element to give a greater level of accuracy in how the cladding and honeycomb deform.
