The optimal design of a vehicle body in terms of crash perfor­mance ensures that occu­pants and pedes­trians are maxi­mally protected in traffic acci­dents. In this blog article, we give you an insight into the dynamic simu­la­tion of fibre composite compo­nents during crash and how this contributes to the devel­op­ment of lighter and safer vehicle compo­nents.
