Virtual Dummies

Denton ATD Virtual Dummies
ETA and its distributor network, now proudly distributes Denton ATD's virtual dummy products. 

Denton ATD is a global leader in the development and manufacture of advanced crash dummies and safety measurement devices.  The virtual Denton finite element models are available in LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH FE formats and represent the physical ATDs manufactured and sold by Denton.

The Denton FE models have been developed using accurate geometric, mass and material data. Geometry has been compiled from a combination of CAD data and scans of actual parts. Mass properties have been implemented and verified using measured masses of actual components. Material data has been collected using a wide range of material tests including volumetric compression, quasi-static tension and compression, strain rate tension and compression, stress relaxation and biaxial testing. The hyperelastic and viscoelastic material properties have been collected and represented using the latest numerical techniques including optimization of the material constitutive model constants.

To validate the models, Denton has used an extensive array of material, component, subsystem, and full dummy certification tests. Denton has worked closely with key customers to extend the model validation into customer specific conditions. In all cases, the highly dynamic nature of the real world application of the actual dummies is being considered in the model verification.

VPG Virtual Dummies
Virtual dummy models are also available within VPG's Safety Module.  These models include SID and EUROSID dummy models (FTSS available), hybrid III dummy models (FTSS available) and LSTC/NCAC dummies.
