Version 22.0 Update

This section lists all the changes made to Workflows since the Oasys 21.1 release.

Automotive Assessments

Enhancements

  1. O22-1050 - Changed the order of occupant versions so the most recent ones are at the top.
  2. O22-1233 - Renamed "Shoulder Belt (B3)" structure to "Driver Shoulder Belt (B3)" to distinguish between the driver and passenger shoulder belt structures.
  3. O22-1190 - Filter out occupant based on drive side. Occupants are filtered out based on the impact side and drive side of the vehicle. For example, if the drive side is LHD and impact side is on the passenger side (right) then the occupant with ribs on the RHS should only be selectable.
  4. O22-1048 - Instructions and confirmation message added after saving user data to file or to model in all Workflows.
  5. Red Zone head node question explained in more detail in relevant REPORTER Templates.
  6. O22-706,1196 - Entity IDs that are defined but don't have a DATABASE_HISTORY_XXXX keyword defined are now shown with a latent cyan-colored textbox background. A window is now mapped when such entity IDs are selected or typed into the text box, giving users the option to create the corresponding DATABASE_HISTORY_XXXX keyword for them. It also provides an option to select the include file to which the keyword will be added.
  7. O22-1210 - Some of the ISO channel codes have been updated in the Euro NCAP Far Side VTC v1.1 draft protocol. The ISO codes that have been changed are: LAP Belt (SEBE0003B6FO00 to SEBE0000B6FO00), Shoulder Belt (SEBE0003B3FO00 to SEBE0000B3FO00), Contact Dummy-Airbag (ARBG0000WSFOX/Y/Z to AIRB0000WSFOX/Y/Z), and Thoracic Spine 04 and 12 Displacements (THSP04/120000DCX/Y/Z0 to THSP04/1200WSDCX/Y/Z0). Backward compatibility support has also been added for the older ISO codes.
  8. O22-1025 - The 'Far Side + VTC' and 'Far Side' crash tests have been renamed to 'Far Side Sled' for consistency. The version for the former 'Far Side + VTC' is now 2024, while the version for the former 'Far Side' crash test is 2022. The corresponding datum files for each test are now stored in their respective version folders. This change has been made to maintain consistency across our tools, and support for backward compatibility has also been added.
  9. O22-701 - The term Physiology has been renamed to Anthropometry and support for backward compatibility has also been added.
  10. O22-216 - "Harmonized" has been added to the version for the relevant Humanetics dummies. E.g., the name would now appear as Humanetics HIII 50M v1.5 (Harmonized). Support for backward compatibility and also been added for these dummies.
  11. O22-1358 - Added IIHS Front SOB Impact 2024 with new fuel modifier.
  12. O22-1364 - Added IIHS Side MDB Impact 2024 with new fuel modifier and updated head protection rating system.
  13. O22-1365 - Added Euro NCAP MPDB 2024 (Occupant Assessment) with new DAMAGE modifier.
  14. O22-556,1049,1140 - Added import configuration window (and CSV) to configure the units, polarity and scale when importing ISO-MME and CSV data.
  15. O22-1419 - Added support for allowing users to select multiple contacts for contact structures.
  16. O22-630,923 - Added "Time of first sample" input in PRIMER. This is used to ignore the pre-crash phase of the simulation by offsetting the curves in T/HIS so that the first sample is at the given "Time of first sample" and the curves are clipped at t=0.
  17. O22-1439 - Curve data before t=0 is removed for imported data sources (e.g. ISO-MME data with "Time of first sample" set to a negative value). The assumption is that the data before t=0 is not relevant to the crash event.

Bug fixes

  1. O22-1235 - Fixed issue where if there was no number/text in the node selection in the Occupant Window it would show SKETCH (NaN) and EDIT (NaN) in the popup menu. Now these two buttons are greyed out if this is the case.
  2. C-NCAP REPORTER Templates have corrected page names.
  3. O22-1171 - In REPORTER Templates with Sim and Test files, the Simulation will now run even if the Test data is invalid.
  4. O22-1308 - Clicking the 'Select All Body Parts' or 'Deselect All Body Parts' button in T/HIS Automotive Assessments does not map or activate/deactivate the DRIVER_HEAD_EXCURSION user input widgets when a fresh session of the tool is opened. The tool used to throw an error if the user clicked on those buttons and then directly tried plotting the assessments. This issue applied only to the 'Far Side + VTC' crash test. It has now been fixed.
  5. O22-1299 - B-Pillar Distance was returning different curves for simulation and test data, this is now fixed, using the coordinate values in both scenarios.
  6. O22-1382 - Removed unused head excursion limit in C-NCAP Far Side CFA REPORTER Templates.

VTC Videos

Enhancements

  1. O22-1225 - Create *DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE question and auto generation added.
  2. If a PRIMER input was invalid, the users input would wipe, this is no longer the case and is stored to be consistent with other Workflow tools. (Latent colour still shows to show invalid input).
  3. O22-1264 - End Time in the GUI now populated by model simulation end time rounded down to 3DP rather than model simulation end time minus 1 interval step.
  4. O22-1387 - In Euro NCAP version you can set the target file size for the videos to satisfy the 1-10MB requirement.

Bug fixes

  1. C-NCAP REPORTER Template has corrected page names.
  2. O22-1247 - 'Parts to Blank' for Euro NCAP side view now correctly blanks requested parts.
  3. When using Edit mode in REPORTER, the view no longer unblanks requested blank parts after pressing recalculate.

LS-DYNA to ISO-MME

Enhancements

  1. O22-1209 - A new textbox has been added in the PRE and POST LS-DYNA to ISO-MME GUI to display the subtype of the test. The subtype is now automatically populated based on the Virtual Testing Ref ID, instead of being set to 'crash test' as it was before.
  2. O22-632 - "Time of first sample" header is now set to the "Time of first sample" input in Automotive Assessments workflow PRIMER.
  3. O22-1250 - Contact type is now give more information. In case of SURFACE_TO_SURFACE and NODE_TO_SURFACE it will use abbreviation S2S and N2S but for other type of contacts it will output the whole type.
  4. O22-1443 - Since the updated Automotive Assessments workflow now supports the selection of multiple contact definitions, LS-DYNA to ISO-MME will now display "Multiple contact types SOFT=multiple FS=multiple" when different types of contact (SOFT and FS) are detected.

Bug fixes

  1. O22-1348 - Corrected the format of subtype of test to exactly match with the protocol.
  2. O22-1349 - Corrected the format of type of test to exactly match with the protocol.
  3. O22-1324 - MME headers and their order should now match exactly to Euro NCAP format. Also all individual channel files should now show Test object number as 1 as per Euro NCAP requirement.
  4. Fixed C-NCAP Side Pole Subtype of test which was coming undefined. Now it should come empty field as this protocol document doesn't have it.
  5. O22-1455 - Missing data information panel from REPORTER template was not showing correct protocol for C-NCAP VTC protocols. Now it should show correct protocol according to Automotive Assessments user data.
  6. Made LS-DYNA to ISO-MME workflow panel non-modal so you can interact with other parts of the program.

SimVT

Enhancements

  1. O22-556,1049,1140 - Added import configuration window (and CSV) to configure the units, polarity and scale when importing ISO-MME and CSV data and changed imported data hover text to show IMPORT_CONFIG and UNITS (instead of UNIT_SYSTEM).
  2. O22-1265 - Demoted ErrorMessage to WarningMessage when the user attempts to load a model with no AAWD data as it is possible to proceed without AAWD data by assigning CSV config data manually.
  3. O22-225 and O22-569 - Exit confirmation message added when pressing 'x' on the GUI or escape on the keyboard.
  4. O22-568 - Added new check box option to toggle visibility of corridors on/off.
  5. O22-630,631 - New "time_of_first_sample" property in user data (Created with PRIMER Automotive Assessments Workflow) is used to ignore the pre-crash phase of the simulation by offsetting the curves in T/HIS so that the first sample is at the given "Time of first sample" and the curves are clipped at t=0.
  6. O22-1439 - Curve data before t=0 is removed for imported data sources (e.g. ISO-MME data with "Time of first sample" set to a negative value). The assumption is that the data before t=0 is not relevant to the crash event.
  7. O22-1469 - Change SimVT default regularisation from 100kHz to 10kHz when no protocol is selected - this significantly speeds up correlation (by more than a factor of 10).

Bug fixes

  1. O22-272 - Fixed issue that occurred on 4k monitors where the correlation setup window was not resized correctly so the channel table scroll bar was not visible without increasing the window width manually.
  2. O22-1258 - When loading SimVT all existing graphs would be cleared even if the user selected "Cancel" on the "SimVT Initialisation" window. This fix ensures that the graphs are only cleared if the user selects "OK" on the "SimVT Initialisation" window.
  3. O22-1266 - Fixed bug where SimVT would attempt to read the model tag as a new LS-DYNA model when an existing LS-DYNA model without AAWD was selected in the model mapping window. This also meant that the CSV config data would not be assigned.

T/HIS CORA

Enhancements

  1. O22-763 - Made the script being run by CORA in the Automotive panel point to the version in workflows scripts directory instead of the this_library scripts directory.

Euro NCAP Virtual Far Side 2024 VC1 (ISO Scores)

Enhancements

  1. O22-1412 - Changed "PASS" to "Pass" and "FAIL" to "Fail" as capitalising only the first letter is more consistent with what we do in other templates.

Bug Fixes

  1. O22-758 - Fixed bug where if an invalid input was entered from a SimVT settings file on the REPORTER Inputs window then it would not highlight red unless you hovered over the textbox.
