Seatbelt Tensioning
Apply tension to a seatbelt for testing using the tensioning option.
The tensioning option in the Seatbelt entity context allows you to simulate the tensioning process on a seatbelt. You can define the tensioning force, contact friction, and the pulling of the belt (start or end).
- Right-click the appropriate seatbelt entity and select Tensioning from the context menu.
- Optional:
Set options as necessary by clicking the
menu.
-
On the guide bar, click the
Tension button.
This will start the tension process. A status bar in the lower left corner informs you of the evolution of the process.
- From the microdialog, use the Cut End slider to cut the tensioned belt at the initial end or start location.
- Click Update Nodes to update the seatbelt with the shape of the selected simulation step.
