Barrier Option Example
This Example demonstrates the use of the msmac Barrier option and the Polygon friction zone option of msmac.
The barrier option was created to permit modeling incidental impacts with barrier and curbs. It is a simplified model of hard points interacting with a line representing the barrier. The option is to provide the ability to simulate minor secondary impacts with roadside barriers. Please exercise caution when using the option. The polygon friction zone option is provided to permit the simulation of 2 additional friction zones.
The following are the input files in the project:
|
File Name |
Description |
|
Barrier_Option_Example_Both_Vehicles.si5 |
This is the main SI5 file. SI5 files are Smac Input files unit5 This is a simply 90 degree intersection collision. The units for these inputs are in Default units (ft, mph, etc) |
|
Barrier_Option_Example_VEH1.si5 |
This is the same as the main SI5 file. SI5 files are Smac Input files unit5, however the units for this file are metric. You can do in-place conversions of input units, that is how we created this file. |
|
Barrier_Option_Example_VEH2_DEFAULT.si5 |
|
|
Barrier_Option_Exampl.si5 |
This is the Smac Graphics Input unit5 file. Sg5 is the suffix for input files for the Smac Graphics program which displays the summary results of smac For a sample of the output from this program please see Page1 and Page2 |
|
Barrier_Option_Example_Both_Vehicles.si5 |
This is the SMAC Animation unit5 input file. SA5 is the suffix for input files for the SMAC Animation program. |
|
Barrier_Option_Example_Both_Vehicles.si5 |
SCE files are 'Scene' files, a graphics format which displays objects in the animation and graphics programs. You can manually create SCE files or use the Tools menu-Import command to import DXF files created with CAD programs. Medit32 also provides a library of pre-built 'scenes', in the Scenes folder, which can be used or modified without restriction. SCE files provide the roadway background for your reconstruction. |
