Abaqus
Component test (left) and full-body test (right) of crash dummy Abaqus FEA models. SIMULIA uses SLM and Isight software to qualify the results of these tests across different versions of FEA.
Simulation Lifecycle Management cuts the qualification process for critical Abaqus finite element analysis crash-test dummy models from weeks to days.

The idea for the automotive crash-test dummy first came to life in the 1950s when U.S. Air Force flight surgeon Col. John Stapp found that more of his fighter pilots were dying in car crashes than from accidents in their hi-tech jet aircraft. The Stapp Car Crash Conferences started that decade and continue today as a venue to share information on the latest research and advancements for improving vehicle crashworthiness and occupant safety.

A major challenge in the ongoing development of physical crash-test dummies is the need to reasonably represent how the human body responds in an automotive accident. The ultimate goal of crash dummy research is to aid in creating design improvements for both vehicles and occupant restraint systems to reduce injuries and save lives.
