ATD-PH35

Model Description

The ATD-PH35 is a Finite Element (FE) representation of the Child/Small Adult Headform Impactor 3.5 kg hardware. It is a spherical head impactor for pedestrian protection testing.

The impactor is launched toward the windshield and bonnet to evaluate the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) representing the potential head injury to a pedestrian in a vehicle–pedestrian impact.

Some characteristics of the ATD-PH35 are:

  • Design: Realistic representation of geometries
  • Handling: Designed for launchers/robot arms with magnetic or mechanical coupling/uncoupling
  • Standard reference: Child/Small Adult 3.5 kg configuration according to EEVC WG17; derived from WG10 headforms (EuroNCAP)

ATD Model Features

  • High accuracy owing to physics-based modeling techniques
  • FE models available for industry standard explicit FE codes
  • Commonality of modeling standards for FE 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
