Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Export an input deck, for the appropriate solver, in order to simulate the deformation of the seat under the dummy.
The simulation result files can be imported to update the initial FE model and remove the intersections and penetrations
between the dummy and the seat.
The Pedestrian Impact tool automates the vehicle marking, impactors positioning and the export of solver decks with minimal
input, therefore reducing the full process lead time.

When a dummy is positioned to its H-Point location on a seat, intersections between
the dummy and seat foam parts generally occurs.
From the menu bar, click Tools > Pre-Simulation (Seat Deformer).
Restriction: Only available in the LS-DYNA
and Radioss solvers.
The PreSimulation tool opens.
Define pre-simulation setup settings.
Click Export.
The selected dummy components move following the direction that you move them
in until no penetrations between the dummy and seat components are detected. The
dummy components are rigidified. A contact between the seat and dummy is
automatically created with user defined parameters as well as a fix boundary
condition on the selected fixed nodes of the seat. Finally, an imposed displacement
is applied on the dummy components to bring them back to the initial position.
The pre-simulation load case is ready and the dedicated input deck is exported
to the user specified location, as shown below. When the solver analysis is done,
you can import the dedicated solver output file to update the initial model with the
deformed geometry and initial stresses of the seat parts.
