Pedestrian Upper Leg Impact
Pedestrian Upper Leg Impact
$define 3 coordinates on impactor either by method=define or method=nodes
$orient, define, <name/id of csys>
$orient, nodes, <name/id>, <name/id>, <name/id>
$
$tag to activate depenetration
$ method = contact, contact name/id, dof <x, xz or xyz>
$ method = partset, partset name/id, dof
$
$ tag for root directory for output
$ tag for root name for output files
$
$ loadcase lines consist of
$ directory name, zone name(as dir if blank), X coord, Y coord, Angle, Velocity, optional parameter value, optional
parameter name
Etc.
Impact angle and velocity can be specified for each loadcase.
The Z-coordinate will be calculated by projection determining the target geometry from the depenetrate information as in the Pedestrian Head impact case.
Note on parameter specification : A parameter name and value may be specified for each loadcase. These are usually intended to furnish different mass values for different loadcases. This may be done by, for example, specifying a parameter for material density and the corresponding desired value
