Information Day: Introduction to Human Body Models

On October 27 this one-day course will provide an overview of state-of-the art full-body HBMs (such as PIPER, THUMS, SAFER-HBM, GHBMC, and VIVA) developed for LS-DYNA and present a brief history of the field.

Development of numerical human body models (HBMs) was initiated in several parts of the world with the introduction of advanced automotive safety systems, in response to the need of a repetitive tool with increased biofidelity and anatomical detail compared to the crash test dummies. Today, HBMs are suited to study human biomechanics in applications in varying fields, including but not limited to automotive, aeronautics, sport injuries, and medical applications.

This one-day course will provide an overview of state-of-the art full-body HBMs (such as PIPER, THUMS, SAFER-HBM, GHBMC, and VIVA) developed for LS-DYNA and present a brief history of the field. It is designed to provide an up-to-date overview and understanding of the possibilities, challenges, and inherent limitations with HBMs, and target a broad audience.
