The pedestrian lower leg impact model involves an impactor translation without rotation. The "Orient" line is used to specify base, X, and Y coordinates.

"Depenetration" is specified as in the Pedestrian Head Impact case.

A constant Z can be specified here. The impactor will not be moved in the Z direction.

templates, root directory, and name may also be specified.

Finally, the loadcase lines consist of a unique directory name, zone name, an X coordinate, and a Y coordinate.
