ATD-FPLI

MODEL DESCRIPTION

The ATD-aPLI is a Finite Element (FE) representation of the Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (Flex-PLI) hardware.

The Flex-PLI is used in the field of pedestrian protection and represents a 50th percentile male leg which is struck from the right side. It includes replicas of the thigh, knee and lower leg.

The ATD-fPLI is the simulation model of the Flex-PLI from the ATD-MODELS GmbH and was derived from the ATD-aPLI. This allows experiences with the ATD-aPLI or the ATD-fPLI in structural principles, numbering and handling to be used directly in the other model.

Some characteristics of the ATD-fPLI are:

  • Easy introduction to handling thanks to the familiar model structure analogous to ATD-aPLI model
  • Understanding of the structure due to realistic representation of the geometries
  • Excellent correlation to hardware certification tests and additional sophisticated component tests

ATD Model Features

  • High accuracy owing to physics-based modeling techniques and validation to test hardware results
  • FE models available for industry standard explicit FE codes
  • Commonality of modeling standards for all dummy models
  • Uniform discretization, nomenclature and numbering systems
  • Same scripts for pre and post processing
  • Same session file and application procedures
  • Full utilization of code-specific features of each solver

Advantages for Users

  • Systematic title nomenclature refers to the assembly groups
  • Prefix in each title description allows a fast adjustment to the nomenclature of the load case
  • Numeration not overlapping the assembly groups
  • Advantage in pre and post processing
  • Allows selection of assembly parts and groups
  • Each assembly group close defined for itself
  • Definition regarding the master, e.g. contacts relate to the assembly group
