HyperWorks Improves Development Processes in Automotive Industry
In 2008 PWO Germany (Progress-Werk Oberkirch AG) had to develop and produce a new steel made automotive cross car beam (CCB) for the dash board of a new car. PWO received the CAD model, the design space definition and other pre-defined standards of the component from the customer and developed and produced the fitting cross beam based on this information. PWO used the HyperWorks Suite to develop the component. HyperMesh was used to transfer the CAD model into a FEA model, which was then used to run dedicated analysis and simulation tasks. To fulfill the requirements for crash and modal analysis, the company used OptiStruct to optimize the component, RADIOSS and other external solver to run the calculations and HyperView for the post processing. HyperForm was used to check the production feasibility of the individual components and for metal forming simulation tasks. It was important for PWO to have a software suite available that could cover all simulation tasks within one graphical user interface and licensing system.

New Material and Failure Models in RADIOSS
In crash testing, the influence of complex and non-homogeneous material is increasingly important. Materials like composites are used for bumpers and dashboards; honeycomb is used for barriers; fabric is used in airbags and seats; and foam is used for seat dummies and padding. To achieve the quality requested for predictive numerical simulation, these materials must be described with a high level of accuracy. For more classical material (steel, aluminum, etc.) with the high level of crash-structure optimization, an accurate evaluation of possible failure is also becoming a critical issue. The new implementation of classical and new-failure models available in RADIOSS V5 will be presented. Two complex, non-homogenous materials will be described in greater detail, demonstrating a honeycomb law using Cosserat elasticity and a fabric law with true fiber coupling.

landing gear stroke, is referred to as the Dynamic Load-Stroke
Curve.
Taxiing event is simulated as two discrete events: braking and
