Motivation
Step-by-Step modeling method for effective
crash simulation
Save time required to simulate a high-g crash
in conjunction with testing
Allow for simulation of design changes to
improve safety

Conclusion
Functions in HyperMesh and HyperCrash
greatly reduced our time to pre-process.
We are close to the validation of simulation
data with test data, however more work must
be done.
