Finite element barrier models for the simulation of automotive load cases with LS-DYNA
Honeycomb Barrier
Barrier models are the key to bringing real-world crash scenarios into the virtual environment with confidence. They define how loads interact with the vehicle and make the difference between rough estimates and truly meaningful simulation results.
Our validated, continuously maintained, and licensed barrier models ensure maximum accuracy, reliability, and consistency. They enable you to reproduce critical load cases with confidence, achieve compliance with current safety standards, and significantly reduce the need for costly physical testing — accelerating your development while improving result quality.
