Abstract
Abstract
The study presents an analysis of the frontal impact of a Dodge Grand Caravan car colliding with different obstacles - a rigid barrier, for full and 50 % overlaps, and a pole with 0.5 m. diameter. Simulations were performed using a V-Sim 4 program at three data sets: default data offered by the program, data established by experts on the basis of their experience and identified on the basis of impact simulation via a LS-Dyna program. The results obtained showed that the attainment of a precise simulation is possible only when the data of V-Sim program is formulated in accordance with an advanced MES analysis. This usually pertains to cases when there is no full overlap of the vehicle body in connection with the obstacle. The results of this work may offer some directions for the development of this type of simulation program. They also show users how important it is to provide accurate input data to achieve reliable calculation results.
