Accidents Reconstruction Product Features & Use Cases
The field of Accident Reconstruction has and continues to be one of the most complex engineering problems to solve. With little or conflicting physical evidence Accident Reconstructionists are challenged to navigate through the vast number of possibilities.
With its foundation in physics, MADYMO is uniquely positioned to assist in these types of cases, to increase confidence and eliminate doubt. MADYMO is one of the most well documented software tools in the Accident Reconstruction Industry, used for studying both automotive and occupational accidents. Probable causes and consequences of accidents can be analyzed in detail and have been used in legal cases, biomechanics research, and benefit assessments for advanced safety systems.
Below you can find some simulation results that can be achieved using our product capabilities.
| In the movie above you can see the result of one of the accident reconstruction cases from Advanced Simtech. In this case the vehicle dynamics has been simulated as well as the occupant motion (including muscle activities) including the simulation ejection from the vehicle.

In the movie above you can see the result of one of the accident reconstruction cases from Astrea Studio Associato di Ingegneria. In this case the human model has been used to simulate the kinematics and end position of a fall out of a window.

TASS has started a distribution agreement with EDC and is now offering two product options for the accident reconstruction market:
-
STARS is our entry level accident reconstruction software package that includes occupant simulation (using MADYMO-for-STARS), accident animation (using PreScan-for-STARS) and vehicle accident reconstruction (using HVE-CSI). STARS is offered on a dedicated Accident Reconstruction website.
-
MADYMO is the standalone full version with all capabilities.
Below you can find a product feature comparison to help you decide which version is right for you.
