Additional Remarks

The modification of the  *CONTROL cards of the dummy file may have an influence on the performance and robustness of the model. Therefore the *CONTROL cards of the dummy model are proposed for simulations with the seat model as well.

In case modifications in the control cards are needed for the seat model, we offer to run a subset of the validation runs with the modified control cards to evaluate the influence. Please contact your local support for details.

All nodes have a connection to an element except the third beam nodes of all beam elements.

The model is free of initial penetrations (except some mid face nodes on T1 vertebrae)
