Application - Occupant Protection

Occupant protection in the event of a crash is an integral part of vehicle development. Increasingly sophisticated legislative crash tests, with occupant injury measurements as the pass/fail criterion, demand that detailed modelling be undertaken at an early stage in the design to avoid costly late changes.

LS-DYNA is ideally suited for this type of analysis and is used by major car manufactures and OEMs worldwide in their vehicle development.
