VPG Suite
Evaluate Product Designs in a Virtual Environment
VPG Suite can function as a stand-alone pre/post processor or as a set of plug-ins, which allow the user to quickly and efficiently create finite element models and define the models for mechanical system analyses. It can be used to simulate common automotive safety test conditions, drop tests, fluid-structure interaction & structural analysis accurately.
Safety
The user can set-up LS-DYNA® safety simulations, including FMVSS & ECE vehicle safety test simulations. While occupant modeling is supported to interactively position finite element dummy models and add vehicle seatbelts. Also, the user can analyze tire models, suspension models and road surfaces. The safety plug-in offers a dynamic non-linear analysis approach, using real-time boundary conditions that are consistent with common test environments.
Structure
This module allows the user to define LS-DYNA models which can be used for mechanical system analysis including tire model, suspension model and road surfaces. VPG Suite uses an analysis approach consistent with test environments dynamic non-linear analysis using real-time boundary conditions.
