This image was created using CEI's EnSight Gold at the VR Lab at Wichita State’s NIAR Crash Dynamics Laboratory. The visualization is a result of a LS_DYNA side impact analysis project with the Federal Transit Authority. A Chevy truck is traveling at 30mph and hits a bus, also traveling at 30 mph, at a 90 degree angle. The bus’ geometrical data was provided locally by Optima Bus.The bus and dummies total 633,698 finite elements.  The crash time solution is 300ms.  For the full story on how NIAR helps to save lives, click here.
