Biomechanics
Building and testing car front seats
Reference: COM-FS-B

Level: Basic
Duration: 2-4 days (depends on FEM knowledge)
Audience: CAE engineers and designers from the automotive industry
Objectives: Learn to handle complete virtual seat testing, from meshing the different components to loading the seat with different types of dummies and human models.
Prerequisites: Basic FEA knowledge

 
Description: Build a seat model, and simulate the seating process of dummies and humans in order to retrieve H-Point, back, lumbar and thigh angles, backset distance, and several other outputs necessary to improve the seat design.
