Introduction

The pedestrian markup tool can be used to markup vehicles and create multiple pedestrian impact models according to rules defined in different pedestrian safety protocols.

Currently the following protocols are supported:

• EuroNCAP v8.2 - v9.0
• CNCAP 2018 - 2021
• GTR / UN R127 (pre 2022 - 2022)
• GB 24550 202X

The vehicle model can be read in either as a meshed FE model or as a CAD model.

The vehicle model is marked up according to the selected protocol

Impact points can then be automatically created for head, upper leg and lower leg impacts.

Multiple models can be built ready for analysis.

For head impacts PRIMER can automatically detect points close to hard parts under the surface of the bonnet. Points can also be created manually.

The distance from the outer surface to the hard parts can also be CT plotted.

For robustness studies points can be created in a ring around other points.
