BASIC FEATURES

Easy Adjustable

By utilizing the following
*PARAMETER_LOCAL

  • GNS_VEL

the barrier model 
integrates perfectly in 
your simulation.

Adhesive and rivets

Adhesive beams, gluing honeycomb to cladding sheets and rivets are able to fail under certain load.

Pressure Air Wheels

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

Gravity

Two versions of the GNS NHTSA OMDB 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.
