Crash & Impact Analysis

Engineering Solid Solutions, Inc. (ESS) provides capability and expertise for multiple types of impact situations for automotive and non-automotive applications.

In today's world there has been increased focus on how things react under impact situations. This relates in particular to moving vehicles that stand a chance for collisions which can result in occupant safety concerns and/or vehicle damage. Increased CAE studies in this area focus on energy management and how structures may be designed to improve occupant safety. Multiple types of simulations are available to meet both customer and regulatory requirements.

  • FMVSS 214: Dynamic Side Impact
  • FMVSS 215: Bumper Impact
  • FMVSS 216: Roof Crush Strength
  • FMVSS 301: Fuel Tank System
  • FMVSS 581: Bumper Strength

The use of CAE impact analysis to simulate these events may reduce the number of test prototypes required to develop a satisfactory design. These analyses offer high value since physical testing is costly and requires prototype hardware and destructive testing.
