 | | "Coupling MADYMO and LS-DYNA3D was the most technically challenging aspect of the whole project, but one that was critical to the success of the seat," says Joseph Formicola, the Hoff Vice President in charge of the JCI project. |
 | | Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and chest gs, provided by MADYMO, were used to determine the survival or "death" of the dummy while the output from LS-DYNA3D allowed the evaluation of the structural integrity of the seat in the simulated sled test. |
 | | The coupling file also contained all the contact definitions between the dummy with the toepan, the seat belt, the cushion pan, and the back of the seat. |
