FE Dummy Models are detailed, validated finite element crash dummy models simulating anthropomorphic test dummies in vehicle, pedestrian, aircraft, rail and military collisions. They predict accelerations, forces and displacements to assess injury risks. Their FEA capabilities enable virtual crash analysis, improving understanding of vehicle/restraint performance while reducing physical testing costs.
FE crash dummy models are virtual representations of the physical dummies.
FE models allow for a crash event to be simulated on a computer instead of doing testing.

Humanetics used the THOR EuroNCAP dummy model to evaluate vehicle crashworthiness in EuroNCAP MPDB frontal impact tests. The validated model, verified from component to full dummy level using certification and additional sled tests, supports vehicle safety design to meet protocol requirements.
Goodbaby Group used Simcenter Hypermesh , Radioss, Hyperview, Hyperstudy and Humanetics Q-series FE dummies to simulate child safety seats to ECE, FMVSS and GB standards. Optimization reduced design-to-market time from 18 to 8 months, lowered weight/costs and reduced mold repair/testing costs.
Humanetics used the Hybrid III 50th_MIL-LX dummy model to evaluate driver injuries from a 6 kg TNT landmine explosion under NATO STANAG 4569 and AEP-55 standards. Simulations identified severe lower-vehicle structural damage and early acoustic effects causing injuries such as broken legs.
