GNS NHTSA OMDB crash barrier model
In 2021 CDH AG acquired marketing, sales and support rights from GNS mbH to distribute the GNS FEA barrier models in America, Europe and Asia. GNS mbH is a specialist in the development of high-quality FE software solutions (e.g. GNS Animator4) and FE models for vehicle safety analysis. Since more than 20 years, GNS mbH develops highly accurate FE Crash Barrier models in close cooperation with the German and other world-wide automobile industry partners. GNS Crash Barrier FE models are used in the virtual development process for passive vehicle safety engineering calculations.
Modelling of the GNS NHTSA OMDB barrier model
- Default crush strength of both blocks meet the required mean responses of the specified corridors
- Adjustable blocks for considering the range of stiffness within each block corridor
- Extended validation domain with additional drop tower tests for verifying the failure modes of the adhesive, rivets and metal sheets
- Robustness check against Honda Accord model provided by NHTSA
Easy Adjustable
By utilizing the following *PARAMETER_LOCAL GNS_VEL the barrier model integrates perfectly in your simulation
Sophisticated
The barrier models was calibrated using several hardware tests with vehicle like lateral structures as impact bodies in different positions.
Adhesive & rivets
Adhesive beams, gluing honeycomb to cladding sheets are able to fail under according load.
Gravity
Two versions of the GNS NHTSA OMDB barrier model are available, considering enabled or disabled gravity in your simulation.
Pressure Air Wheels
Trolley wheels with tires of pressure air, getting model motion closer to reality
