Rib Accelerations
The WorldSID 50th model is equipped with twelve rib accelerometers. On each single rib, one accelerometer is mounted on the impact side and one on the opposite side.

The nodal results are printed in the NODOUT file in the local coordinate systems of the accelerometers. On the impact side (left hand side for the left handed driver model) the nodes are:
| Item | Node ID | Label | Component |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder Rib | 10010 | accelerometer shoulder rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 1.Thorax Rib | 10011 | accelerometer upper thorax rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 2.Thorax Rib | 10012 | accelerometer middle thorax rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 3.Thorax Rib | 10013 | accelerometer lower thorax rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 1.Abdomen Rib | 10014 | accelerometer upper abdomen rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 2.Abdomen Rib | 10015 | accelerometer lower abdomen rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
On the reverse side of impact (right hand side for the left handed driver model) the accelerometer nodes are:
| Item | Node ID | Label | Component |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder Rib | 10020 | accelerometer shoulder rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 1.Thorax Rib | 10021 | accelerometer upper thorax rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 2.Thorax Rib | 10022 | accelerometer middle thorax rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 3.Thorax Rib | 10023 | accelerometer lower thorax rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 1.Abdomen Rib | 10024 | accelerometer upper abdomen rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
| 2.Abdomen Rib | 10025 | accelerometer lower abdomen rib left | Local x-, y-,z-accelerations |
