Operational Impact
The results from the physical test compared with the FEA results using RADIOSS demonstrated the close correlation between the physical test and the computer model. This was very reassuring for Bremar Automotion, as it confirmed the accuracy of their simulation methods and the RADIOSS software. The tests performed on the motorsport roll cage were above and beyond those required for the FIA accreditation, which helped Bremar achieve a higher degree of confidence in their process. The test schedule also included a similar range of physical tests conducted on large Rollover Protection Systems (ROPS), as used on trucks, tractors, and earthmoving machinery. Good correlation was achieved for these tests as well, again confirming the accuracy of Bremar’s simulation methods and the RADIOSS software. | |
