Neck Load Cells

Fig. 15: Models of lower and upper neck load cells
Figure 15 shows the location of the upper and lower neck load cells. Both are modelled as discrete beams. The table below gives details on the extraction of the loads:
| Item | Beam ID |
Label |
Component |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper neck force y - direction |
