Introducing VPG Suite 2022 a LS-DYNA plugin vertical application toolbox

For years, VPG has helped engineers in the transportation industries understand true system performance and provide early system-level validation through virtual proving grounds simulations. The all-new VPG Suite 2022 accomplishes this goal and much more.

The suite focuses on two major modules, Crash/Safety, and Structure

New Module

The Safety Module provides convenient, simple operations, a modernized user interface, high accuracy across all features, and easy pre & post-processing and auto reports for:

Regulations

Supporting the latest regulations across the globe, including FMVSS, ECE, NCAP, and others.

Pedestrian Protection (PedPro)

Automatic reporting, damage & score calculation, layout impact points, and more.

Restraint

Create & adjust a full 3-point seatbelt with shoulder straps, waist straps, and retractors.

Interior

Create & configure sliding seat positionings, steering wheels, and instrument panel parts for maximum simulation detail.

Bus Rollover

Simulate full bus rollover events under ECE Regulation No. 66 standards.

New Module

The Structure Module provides digitized actual Proving Ground road surface, tire, and suspension toolsets. These tools provide a great deal of assistance when configuring rigid, flexible, or hybrid chassis/suspension models and evaluating vehicle dynamics, road load, and suspension behavior, as well as placing virtual accelerometers and evaluating the body structure under actual proving ground loading conditions.

The Structure Module also provides:

Early intervention

Find and fix issues fast in the road load test phase of prototype vehicles.

Early phase data

Gain early insights for improvements and cost reductions in structural durability analysis & more.

Actual road load data

Gain and measure accurate data for structure evaluations and correlation studies.

Reduce costs

Eliminate unnecessary spending on real-world road tests and vehicle prototyping.
