Application Field
Present guidelines define modeling and validation requirements for numerical airbag models in Radioss with Finite Volume Method (FVM).
These guidelines are based on production Radioss versions
2017.2.5, 2019.2.4, 2020.1, 2021.2 double precision which are used by many airbag
manufacturers. The single precision version of Radioss
cannot be used for airbag calculations. The guideline requirements are based on the
common practice of airbag modeling. Some of the requirements are not directly connected
to the FVM but are recommended to create an airbag model which is easy to understand and
incorporate in crash simulations.
- FVM - Finite Volume Method
- FV - Finite Volume
- UP - Uniform Pressure
