Brochures and pricing information for your mcrash software?

Post by MSI »

Q: (via email) I was interested in some brochures and pricing information for your mcrash software?

A: We do not market the mcrash program. We wrote a couple research papers with the intent of possibly marketing mcrash But then technology made msmac3D so fast (and it includes damage AND trajectory simulation) we saw no point to spend the time and effort to create a marketable version of mcrash.
We are in the process of implementing components of mcrash into the automatic iteration/optimization option of msmac3D (see SMAC2003 - The Automatic Iteration of SMAC)

CRASH was created as a simple pre-processor for SMAC. However due to the simplicity of the technique (and the cost of running SMAC on mainframe computers back in the 70s-80s), and the fact it was to be used only for statistical purposes looking at trends, NHTSA opted to use CRASH (they have subsequently created WinSmash which is a NHTSA USE ONLY version of CRASH (NHTSA got tired of litigation related subpoenas, etc for CRASH))

Fast forward 40 years and many folks use and/or teach CRASH as a primary reconstruction program in litigation (and of course if all you have is damage it is good, and it is a good first pass technique)

For additional information on CRASH, please see Thank you for your interest in McHenry Software!
