Instrument Panel
The Instrumental Panel tool facilitates the post-processing of the FMVSS201 and ECE-R21 analysis.
This tool uses time-history and result files as input and automates the post-processing with minimal input, therefore reducing the report generation lead time.
From the Instrument Panel tool to invoke the IP Impact Post dialog.
ribbon > tool group, select the- Configuration (Solver Selection)
Supported solvers are Radioss, LS-DYNA, and PAM-CRASH 2G.
- Target csvSelect the HyperMesh-created *.csv file.Note: Upon using HyperMesh to mark and position the impactor, HyperMesh generates a CSV file
- IP model
Select the solver input file that contains the Instrumental Panel model.
- Result directory
