Crash, Impact and Occupant Safety
Occupant safety simulation with PAM-SAFE
Reference: CRS-S-I

Level: Intermediate
Duration: 2 days
Audience: CAE engineers, designers and specialists in structural crash and occupant safety
Objectives: Learn to use, through practical applications and theory, the different options of PAM-SAFE software to simulate the effect of restraint systems (such as seatbelts and airbags) and occupants in a crashed vehicle.
Prerequisites: Course: Getting Started with PAM-CRASH (CRS-C-B) or equivalent experience
Description: Participants learn to use the major functions and options of PAM-SAFE. This course focuses on airbag and belt systems modeling, dummy positioning, as well as barrier models. Practical applications and theory alternate throughout the course. Training concludes with a data record, which contains all PAM-SAFE functionalities in the context of a carriage test.
