Crash, Impact and Occupant Safety
Airbag simulation with PAM-SAFE/FPM
Reference: CRS-SF-A

Level: Advanced
Duration: 1 day
Audience: CAE engineers, designers and specialists in structural crash and occupant safety
Objectives: Understand the Finite Point Method theory and learn how to apply it.
Prerequisites: Courses: Getting Started with PAM-CRASH (CRS-C-B) and Occupant safety simulation with PAM-SAFE (CRS-S-I) or equivalent advanced experience
Suggested knowledge of airbag modeling
Description: A numerical description of gas dynamics within airbags is essential for the successful simulation of Out-Of-Position load cases, of lateral airbags, and of the opening behavior of protective covers. The Finite Point Method (FPM) is a CFD technology, developed by ESI Group. The theoretical overview of this technology is followed by a presentation of the relevant parameters, requirements, and the conversion of data records to FPM.
Course content:
  • Overview of the FPM (Finite Point Method) theory
  • Example: data records conversion to FPM
  • Post-processing using Visual-Viewer
  • Switch/transfer from customer’s data records to FPM models (after previous arrangement)
