Vehicle Safety
For vehicle occupant safety simulation RADIOSS has access to a large library finite element dummy and barrier models. Partnerships with First Technology (FTSS) and TASS allow RADIOSS to provide the most comprehensive tool set in the industry. In addition, the HyperCrash modeling environment provides outstanding support for automotive crash and safety simulation with RADIOSS.
Multi-Body Simulations
Mechanical systems simulation using rigid and flexible bodies is made possible through the integration with MotionSolve. The solutions include Kinematics analysis, Dynamics analysis, Static and quasi-static analysis, and Linearized solution. All typical types of constraints like joints, gears, couplers, user defined constraints, and high-pair joints can be defined. High pair joints include point-to-curve, point-to-surface, curve-to-curve, curve-to-surface, and surface-to-surface constraints. They can connect rigid bodies, flexible bodies, or rigid and flexible bodies.
