Kinematics and Model Reduction
Applications
Tracking of the overall vehicle movement
tracking of 2 cars within a car 2 car crash
tracking body parts with kinematic model of a human body model
6 DOF motion tracking of a human body model during a full vehicle crash simulation
Challenge
In many analysis cases the entire model is overloaded and slow to process. A reduced model, based on the kinematics of predefined entities has sufficient information. The key challenges are fast and accurate methods to evaluate kinematics of deformed bodies as well as the handling of failed elements and “sticking” nodes
Solution
As far as possible, methods of our Toolboxes operate on arbitrary entities. I.e. a method to track an entity movement may operate on a single element, a property, a connected component, a full vehicle or any arbitrary selection.
Our experience in the field of robotics is also incorporated into the diverse applications
