General Information
The Partnership for Dummy Technology and Biomechanics (PDB) decided to develop WorlSID finite element models for the crash codes LS-DYNA, PAMCRASH and ABAQUS. The PDB is a group established by a subset of the German Association for Automotive Research (FAT) members to work in the field of dummy technology and modelling. Within the project, DYNAmore is responsible for the development of the LS-DYNA model and for the contribution to the test definitions for the experimental database. The project was launched in 2006 and the participants of this project are:
- Audi
- Porsche
- BMW
- Volkswagen
- Daimler
The development and validation has been performed on different platforms. The following LS-DYNA versions have been used:
| LS-DYNA Version | Date | Revision No. |
|---|---|---|
| R9.3 MPP | 03/13/2021 | 618-gee79cb9 |
| R11 MPP | 07/02/2020 | 2736-g41bc835 |
| R12 MPP | 08/02/2022 | 4134-g382192fb50 |
| R14 MPP | 08/22/2022 | 250-ge61a75b799 |
To offer a variety of LS-DYNA versions for the user to run the current WorldSID model, we tested the following releases with the barrier sled tests:
| LS-DYNA Version | Date | Revision No. | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| R9.3 MPP | 03/13/2021 | 618-gee79cb9 | YES |
| R11 MPP | 07/02/2020 | 2736-g41bc835 | YES |
| R12 MPP | 08/02/2022 | 4134-g382192fb50 | YES |
| R14 MPP | 08/22/2022 | 250-ge61a75b799 | YES |
With the version 8.0 of the WorldSID 50th model the following keyword files are delivered:
| File name | Content |
|---|---|
| worldSID50_pdb_v8.0_mm_ms_kg.key |
Dummy model; the file name might vary depending on the system of units
|
| worldSID50_pdb_v8.0_mm_ms_kg_IR-TRACC_left_v1.0.key | IR-TRACC LHD include file; the file name might vary depending on the system of units |
|
worldSID50_pdb_v8.0_mm_ms_kg_IR-TRACC_right_v1.0.key |
IR-TRACC RHD include file; the file name might vary depending on the system of units |
|
worldSID50_pdb_v8.0_Ballast_left_v1.0.key |
Ballast LHD include file
|
| worldSID50_pdb_v8.0_Ballast_right_v1.0.key |
Ballast RHD include file
|
| Psg_v2.1_... |
Script to generate pre-simulation input (chapter 3.2).
|
| wsid50_v8.0_all_units_server.asc |
License file; the file can be used in different system of units
|
| wsid50_v8.0_all_units_load_curves_work.key |
Work file used for pre-processing instead of license file. The file name might vary depending on the system of units
|
| worldSID50_pdb_v8.0_H-Point_tool.key |
H-Point measurement device
|
| worldSID50_pdb_v8.0.X_mm_ms_kg_RibEye_left_v4.0.key |
RibEye LHD model; the file name might vary depending on the system of units
|
| worldSID50_pdb_v8.0.X_mm_ms_kg_RibEye_right_v4.0.key |
RibEye RHD model; the file name might vary depending on the system of units
|
The work file wsid50_pdb_vx.x_all_units_load_curves_work.key can be used for pre-processing the dummy.
This work file includes the same input as the encrypted license file. The only difference is the scaling of the load curves in the work file. The load curves are scaled randomly in a wrong range and they are much too soft to be used for a LS_DYNA simulation. But the file can be used to observe the quality and course of the material curves.
A LS-DYNA simulation in use of the work file will give wrong results and is very unstable.
