The ability to import 2D or 3D scenes or create them within.

Collision Optimizer algorithms that reconstruct collisions using scene data and/or crush energy (see SAE 980373)

Simultaneous simulation of up to 32 vehicles and objects**

Impact Models - Ellipsoidal and Mesh Models

The force-based ellipsoidal model is useful for low-speed or sustained contact collisions and the more complex force-based mesh model can be used where the crash pulse time is an important factor or where residual deformation over a number of impacts occurs.

Either of the two force-based models can be used for ground contact in a rollover.

Simulate and perform impact calculations for truck and trailer combinations using one or more trailers. The multibody system allows you to take movable loads into account.

Model trailer seperation by either specifying a hitch failure for or a specific distance/time; trailers equipped with steering systems based on articulation angles can also be modeled.

Optional Interface to MADYMO®

The optional MADYMO® module allows vehicle occupant motion and loading to be studied.

Different types of seat belts can be specified, including a seat belt tensioner when a lap and torso belt is used. Two different airbags (driver's and right front) can be specified.

The results of a MADYMO ® simulation can be viewed as a 3D animation (left) or in the form of diagrams. Diagrams of velocities, loads, etc. on each multi-body component are available.

FCE 3D Vehicle Shapes

Thousands of freely available FCE 3D shapes, created for popular computer games, can now be imported in addition to the current DXF shapes. DXF shapes can change shape at impact, either automatically based on vehicle overlap at maximum engagement or with more complex changes defined by the user. The 3D DXF and FCE shapes can also be used for multibody pedestrian interaction, or to define the mesh impact model shapes.
