Seminar: Virtual Testing for Vehicle Safety Assessment in Consumer Protection Tests and Regulations

article imageVehicle type approval based on virtual test procedures has been possible for some time for a limited number of specific regulations in automotive safety. However, there have been very few real applications so far. Currently the increasing demands of consumer protection organizations are leading to a noticeable acceleration in the development and acceptance of procedures for virtual testing as an alternative or supplement to physical testing. There are also corresponding efforts by legislators to implement virtual test procedures in new regulations for the assessment of vehicle safety. The trainer Andre Eggers has been a research associate at the German Federal Highway Research Institute since 2006 and works in the fields of biomechanics, evaluation of dummies, human models and virtual testing.

Material Libraries in Ansys Forming

article imageWhen stamping from sheet metal, stresses in the through-thickness direction are generally not very important. Calculations in this area are mainly performed using the shell formulation, and material models are refined for this type of discretization. By reducing the number of dimensions, material models for stamping gain advanced abilities to describe the plastic flow of metal.
