The application software CrashSim is used for the preparation, execution, monitoring, analysis and documentation of crash tests carried out on the Instron sled system. The user application focused software has been continuously improved in cooperation with our worldwide user groups.
There is no special knowledge required for the operation of CrashSim because it is intuitive and largely self-explanatory. The user interface complies with the Windows 7 standard.
The parameter settings and valve configurations required for the applications listed below are stored in the control system and are set automatically by CrashSim when selecting the test method:
Frontal and rear impact simulation
Frontal Impact with active controlled pitch simulation
Side and Pole Impact simulation
Side Impact simulation
Whiplash - Low Speed Rear Impact Test
Thanks to this high degree of automation, efficient and productive test operation is ensured.
The basic version CrashSim 5.0 offers the following functions:
Pulse data input and filtering
Calculation of drive signals from acceleration / time traces
Control of all peripheral systems (airbag igniter, data acquisition, camera systems,...)
Test execution
Evaluation of the test results
Digital storage and retrieval of test parameters for future applications.
Visualization of the system status via process display
