Accelerometers
To extract occupant injury criteria from the model, the following preparations have been made.
Location of accelerometers and history nodes
The marked nodes, which are shown in the figure are accelerometer nodes. The description of the accelerometer definitions for the local output is shown in the table below:
Item | History Node-ID | Component |
---|---|---|
Head | 10000 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
Vertebra C4 | 10001 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
Vertebra T1 left | 10002 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
Vertebra T1 right | 10007 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
Vertebra T8 | 10003 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
Vertebra L1 | 10004 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
Pelvis | 10005 | Local x/y/z - acceleration |
