McHenry Forum - Crash Reconstruction & Simulation

Feb 25, 2015: Today we performed some quick Benchmark tests of the msmac3D 3D simulation program. This is a followup to our Feb 2014 msmac3D benchmark tests and show a dramatic improvement. The simulations in 3D run 2-4 times faster than Real time meaning a 10 sec simulation runs in around 3 seconds...

Be sure to also review the new DEMO videos being posted up.

• How to create a msmac3D simulation in less than 3 minutes!!
  
  Also see msmac3D instructional Videos

Found another reference which includes some documentation of tests of bumper height when traversing/impacting different curb types and at different speeds and angles.

• NCHRP 537 Recommended Guidelines for Curb and Curb–Barrier Installations

for example:

Q: (rcd via email) A car went out of control and mounted a curb (grass median) at an approach angle of about 45 degrees. It went airborne onto the opposite side of the road, going over the bonnet of a car traveling in the opposite direction, and pushing the car and its bonnet cover to the side. Any ...

Just added a supplemental video explaining some of the new msmac3D interface features

New DEMO video posted of the new msmac3D interface on How to make a msmac3D 3D simulation project in 5 min or less (we recommend taking your time but if you are in a hurray, you can do it!) The 5 min video removed, we're now down to 3 Minutes How to set up a msmac3D simulation in 3 MINUTES! https://...

Feb 19, 2015: DEMO msmac3D videos were created in preparation for of a GOTO Meetings DEMO session. All in 5 to 10 minutes. Goto Meetings do not display videos very well, they stutter. So as part of prep for the DEMO we created these animations. Are you interested in our msmac3D 3D reconstruction and...
