Applying Accelerations to mimic crash

Hi,

I need an example of applied accelerations to a part/system that mimics the effect of crash. How some of the parts of the vehicle react to accelerations when the vehicle crashes

Any hint will be helpfull

If you know of an example, let me know

Thanks

Juan

An approximation is to create a G/VFORCE on the cm-marker of each part. The force would be .part.mass*VARVAL(global_acceleration). Not perfect, but I have used this approach in the past. Not very hard to create a macro that loops over all parts in the model and create the forces.

I was even lazier as I only applied that force solely to the chassis-part.

(In realtiy the crash occurs to chassis, too, and and all other parts that are somehow connected to chassis have to "react" to that acceleration)
