BASIC FEATURES

Easy Adjustable

By setting *PARAMETER

  • GNS_VELO
  • GNS_LC
  • GNS_TSM
  • GNS_MASS  

the barrier model integrates perfectly in your desired simulation scenario.

Adhesive

Adhesive beams, gluing honeycomb to cladding sheets are able to fail according load.

Pressure Air Wheels

Trolley wheels with tires of  pressure air, getting model  motion closer to reality.

Gravity

Two versions of the GNS MDB barrier model are available, considering  enabled or disabled gravity in your simulation.

Sophisticated

The barrier model was calibrated using several hardware tests with vehicle  like structures as impact bodies in different positions.

VALIDATION
