Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage
the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting,
which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Export an input deck, for the appropriate solver, in order to simulate the deformation of the seat under the dummy.
The simulation result files can be imported to update the initial FE model and remove the intersections and penetrations
between the dummy and the seat.
Use the Ejection Mitigation (EM) tool for the automatic target marking according to FMVSS-226 rules, automatic positioning
of the headform impactor, and the automatic export of ready-to-run solver decks for all of the selected impact locations.
Use the IP Impact tools to automatically calculate the instrument panel (IP) testing area according to the regulations
FMVSS201 and ECE-R21, position the headform impactor, and export ready-to-run solver decks for all the selected impact
locations.
The Pedestrian Impact tool automates the vehicle marking, impactors positioning and the export of solver decks with minimal
input, therefore reducing the full process lead time.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or
remeshing and without design variables.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.

When a dummy is positioned to its H-Point location on a seat, intersections between
the dummy and seat foam parts generally occurs.
From the Safety ribbon, click the
arrow next to the Seat Deformer tool, and select
Seat Deformer from the menu.

Figure 2. . Shows the initial model with the dummy positioned at its correct H-Point
location, and shows intersections with the seat.
The selected dummy components move following the direction that you move them
in until no penetrations between the dummy and seat components are detected. The
dummy components are rigidified. A contact between the seat and dummy is
automatically created with user defined parameters as well as a fix boundary
condition on the selected fixed nodes of the seat. Finally, an imposed displacement
is applied on the dummy components to bring them back to the initial position. Figure 3.
The pre-simulation load case is ready and the dedicated input deck is exported
to the user specified location, as shown below. When the solver analysis is done,
you can import the dedicated solver output file to update the initial model with the
deformed geometry and initial stresses of the seat parts. Figure 4.
