The makers of MADYMO
Welcome to TASS. We offer MADYMO, the world's leading crash safety design software. Building on over 30 years experience in vehicle crash safety, our engineers can support you to improve your safety design. With active safety becoming more and more important, TASS has extended its software portfolio with the software PreScan: a simulation tool for designing active safety systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Furthermore, TASS offers an integrated software solution for tyre modeling in vehicle dynamics simulations including tyre testing and model parameter identification: Delft-Tyre.
Using our software and engineering services you can make your vehicles more than just safe. They can be TASS-safe.
MADYMO dummy models beat FE competition in AORC Benchmark - rating results included!
 |
TASS NewsOn May 14th, the Automotive Occupant Restraints Council (AORC - www.aorc.org) presented the results of their frontal impact occupant safety benchmark at its 2010 annual general meeting. In this benchmark, all most commonly used combinations of simulation software codes and crash dummy models were compared on their predictive value versus physical test data and their CPU time efficiency. The MADYMO solver with multibody Hybrid-III models proved to be among the best on response accuracy, while being by far the fastest solution. AORC benchmark The goal of the benchmark was to conduct an impartial and objective comparison of simulation codes and the associated ATD models currently available for use in occupant simulation. A total of 7 different Hybrid III 50th male dummy models and 6 different Hybrid III 5th female dummy models have been compared with sled test data in both high energy and low energy test conditions. Factors analyzed included: validation level, robustness and computational efficiency. MADYMO Speed and Accuracy The AORC benchmark results illustrate the unique strength of MADYMO in combining accurate and robust dummy models with a very high simulation speed. The MADYMO models proved to be as accurate as the best FE models, but magnitudes faster (MADYMO 1 minute vs. FE 12 hours). Compared to the fastest FE alternative, the MADYMO models were on average 9 times faster and much more accurate. These AORC benchmark results confirm MADYMO's market leading position in occupant safety simulation. The plot below shows how MADYMO scores on response accuracy (simulation versus test signal correlation ratings for FMVSS 208 channels) and CPU performance compared to alternative code-model combinations used for occupant safety analysis.
