General Information

This model has been developed by DYNAmore with a consortium of members of the FAT (German Association for Automotive Research). The group is lead by Volkswagen. Experienced engineers from Audi, BMW, Daimler, Opel, Porsche, Karmann, Hammerstein, JohnsonControls, and Keiper contributed by proposing tests, discussing results and defining QA procedures.

 

The development and validation has been performed on different platforms. The following LS-DYNA versions have been used:                        

 

LS-DYNA Version
Date Revision No.
971 MPP
08/13/2007 R2 Rev. 7600.1224
971 MPP 09/18/2008 R3.2.1 Rev. 47756

 

Because of a new material model in conjunction with the pre-stress, it is very important to use the following LS-DYNA versions:

 

LS-DYNA Version
Date (use no older versions)
Revision No.
970 04/24/2006 or newer 6763.361
971 R2 (R2 = 971.7600) 10/19/2006 or newer 7600.528
971 R3 (R3 > 971.7600) 10/06/2006 or newer 9080

 

If older versions are used, LS-DYNA will not have an error termination but the results of the BioRID model will be wrong! Please contact your local LS-DYNA distributor to get the right LS-DYNA version.
