Handling of Complex Kinematics of a Crash Model in ANSA

The increased sophistication of impact models and the existence of many kinematic mechanisms in them, along with the need to study many load cases, has forced the analysts to use multi-body solvers to reposition their models. This has been a complex task, so the need for the development of such tools within the preprocessors is necessary. BETA CAE Systems, a leader in the development of sophisticated tools in the area of preprocessing, developed such advanced tools integrated in the ANSA pre-processor. This integration is taking advantage of all the existing functionality for crash preprocessing and process automation.
