Background
  • Finite element simulations of crash dynamics by commercial FE software usually take long time for a single run.
  • Run-time less than 10 minutes is desirable to make expedient evaluation of barrier impact responses.
  • With current CPU speed and graphical capability, 3-dimensional visual simulation has become feasible on notebook PCs with reasonable run-time.
