Virtual testing developments of the LS-DYNA® WorldSID 50th dummy model

In 2024 the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) Virtual Testing Crashworthiness (VTC) procedure for far-side impact is introduced. The LS-DYNA DYNAmore WorldSID 50th dummy model will be part of this procedure. Separate qualification criteria must be satisfied for the WorldSID model. They are specified in Technical Bulletin TB043-1 [1]. LS-DYNA DYNAmore WorldSID 50th version 8 will be the first model with the official certificate to satisfy all the defined criteria of TB043-1. TB043-1 includes three different stages of certification. Normative dummy requirements are checked in the first stage. Component level tests of head-neck and lumbar spine represent the second stage. The last stage includes a new full dummy sled test scenario representing the far-side load case. The dummy model must pass all three stages to be fully certificated.
