This tutorial demonstrates how to find deformation, stress, and energy absorbing
capacity of various structural components of a vehicle hitting a stationary or moving
object.
The component is crashworthy (safe), if it meets the plastic strain and energy
targets.
A bumper beam is one of the components that is used to protect passengers from front
and rear collision.
Bumper beam crash tests are necessary, for instance to calculate the energy
absorption of this component during a crash.図 1.
In this lesson you will learn to:
Step 1: Load the Radioss (Block) interface and
load initial solver deck
/INTER/TYPE2: for tied interface that connects a
set of secondary nodes to a main surface (connect coarse and fine meshes,
model spotwelds, rivets, and so on)
/INTER/TYPE7: Penalty contact between all versus
all
To run this simulation, you will need access to a licensed version of Radioss. You will need an internet connection to watch the
video tutorials and download the files.
