Tests to the computer time in history
Crashes. That is what you are here to learn about, so I’ll tell you all about them.
The usually strong, healthy process was not based on computers and models but on experimental testing methods, where dummies with sensors were placed on the driver and passenger seats. The most well known type of test is a car-harming orb interfering with a solid concrete wall with a frontal. Such tests led to influencing the market with models that were taken out of the market because of not enough safety ratings.
Real crash tests were later helped by computer-helped engineering, a car test run that appears or feels close to the real thing completed on dedicated computers to fine-tune the understanding of crashworthiness and better reproduce it, especially regarding design changes. Imagine replacing a physical part and running a new test versus changing CAD files and launching a new test run that feels the same if not better. The limited element model provides faster results and helps speed up development with reactions and responses to back information stored in company datasets based on well-known physical modeling, with a strong and healthy process behind itself.
Later, many more tests were made or developed, such as side-impact, side pole-hit, the effect, or roll-over, and the limited element method helped to tackle numerous design changes to help engineers decide or figure out the best car models with calculations.
