What is MADYMO Coupling Solver?

MADYMO Coupling Solver features a unique capability that will allow any of the MADYMO dummy or human models to be used in a co-simulation with an external FE solver (e.g. RADIOSS, LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, and ABAQUS).

This gives users an efficient design tool for occupant modeling that optimally balances speed and accuracy. Via the HWEC Program it is only possible to use the MADYMO Dummy or Human models in co-simulations with FE solvers.

In this case, all other system components (belts, airbags …) need to be modeled in the external FE solver. Customers that want to model belts and airbags in MADYMO can contact their local TASS representative directly to obtain the required MADYMO license.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Same MADYMO dummy model can be used in all codes.
  • Same dummy model used in restraint design and vehicle structural design reduces modelling overhead by 25%.
  • Dedicated graphical user interface eliminates the need for a FEuser to learn MADYMO and reduces the time required to embed MADYMO models in a FEenvironment.
  • Coupling Assistant is a dedicated graphical tool to enable FEcode experts to include a MADYMO model (such as a dummy model) in their FEmodel without having to learn the details of MADYMO.

Applications

Madymo is used for the following applications
  • Automotive occupant safety design for frontal impact, side impact, rear impact, pedestrian impact, rollover, Out-of-Position.
  • Aviation occupant safety design
  • Accident reconstruction
  • Design and analysis of sports protective equipment
  • Design and analyses of defense protective devices

Modules

MADYMO can be interfaced with the FE structural codes RADIOSS, LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, and ABAQUS.
