Update version 6.0.2
- Update v6.0.2: Lumped mass is assigned to nodes of optional thickness of thorax rib damping material with Keyword *ELEMENT_MASS_NODE_SET in order to avoid massless nodes.
- Update v6.0.2: Model clean up, Empty data are removed (include *PART, *SECTION, *DEFINE_COORDINATE_NODES, *BEAM with free node).
Update version 6.0.1
- Dummy mechanism update:
Hardware status for location of Pelvis Zero is: H-point tool oriented at 45 degree in Y direction and now the output of pelvis’ tilt sensor is 0 degree.
H-point tool position from delivery package of WSID50th model is always located at 45 degree in Y direction, and model position of delivery package is also located at Pelvis Zero.
The output of the delivery position of pelvis angle was changed from 15 degree to 0 degree. The dummy position was not changed, just the output of this position, the output of old pelvis’ tilt sensor is 15 degree.
WorldSID50th delivery position: H-Point tool, Pelvis Zero

Mechanism update show in primer:
WSID_v6.0 WSID_v6.0.1

Update version 6.0
- The Right_Hand_Dummy model has the same coordinate system as the Left_Hand_Dummy model for output. Both base on SAE J211.
WSID_v6.0 LHD WSID_v6.0 RHD

Geometric modifications
- Half arm is with new mesh and some materials are updated.
WSID_v5.0 WSID_v6.0

- Shoulder pad geometric update
WSID_v5.0 WSID_v6.0

- New half arm has better deformation behavior in shoulder area. In the following a sled test is shown for both versions of WorldSID, focus is on the arm_joint hole
WSID_v5.0 WSID_v6.0


- Jacket is worn tight with initial stress
WSID_v5.0 WSID_v6.0

Jacket performance in sled-test: flat barrier with arm in second notch:
WSID_v5.0 WSID_v6.0


- Rib x-rotation measurement: discrete elements are used to measure the x-rotation of the ribs

- Constrained-method for optional thorax-rib damping-mat-nodes: (Since version 5.0 thickness of thorax-rib’s damping material is variable by parameter trd_opt.)
Version 5.0: The optional nodes are constrained by:
*CONSTRAINED_EXTRA_NODES_SET
Version 6.0: The optional nodes are constrained by:
*CONSTRAINED_NODAL_RIGID_BODY
The thickness of thorax-rib’s damping material can be changed after the position of dummy in version 6.0.
Update since version 6.0.1:
SET_NODE (trd_opt_nodes) was defined for extra nodes of optional thickness of thorax rib damping material, in order to hold these extra nodes together with dummy when there is an initial moving for dummy position in pre-processor. This is an update for dummy mechanism.
