Occupant Simulation in LS-DYNA®
Syllabus
This two-day class overviews how to set up airbags, seatbelts, seats, and dummy positioning. We will discuss setting up and modifying occupant restraints in a sled environment. Workshops will be used to illustrate these concepts. Upon completion, you will be able to design and develop your own sled studies for evaluating restraint systems.
