New LS-Dyna barrier model enhances China NCAP side-impact tests

The Oasys LS-Dyna Environment introduces a new side-impact barrier shell model specifically designed for the China NCAP Protocol. The SC-MDB C-NCAP follows the specifications outlined in the C-NCAP Management Rules (2024 edition) and will be used in the 2024 China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) for its side-impact testing protocol.

The SC-MDB barrier’s six honeycomb blocks have been meticulously validated to comply with C-NCAP SC-MDB specifications. This validation process involved calibrating the LS-Dyna model using simulation results from a 40km/h dynamic impact against a rigid wall.
