Seat Mesh :
The seat is meshed with 4 nodes and 3 nodes thin shell elements. The feet of the seat are modeled with
beam elements. The beams are connected to the shell elements with common nodes. These elements
are set into parts which are linked to isotropic material and property.

Seat Mesh :
The material for the shell elements is an elasto-plastic one with Johnson-Cooks formulation and damage
(maximum stress). The shell formulation, thickness, number of integration points are defined in the shell
property cards.

Seat Mesh :
The backseat structure is linked to the seat itself with two rigid bodies.
The rigid bodies are defined with a set of slave nodes. The parameters are the default ones. The rigid
body is set to the time history.

Model building
Model assembling :
On the seat structure, the floor, the seat belt anchorage points and the foam blocks are added.
Tree hierarchy
Model building
Model assembling :
A self impact interface is defined with all the shell element parts. This interface is defined with friction and
variable gap (gap defined according the part thickness).

Connections:
Rigid body
The seat feet and the seat belts are merged (red
arrows) to the floor and included in the floor rigid
body.
The cushions are connected to the seat
structure with tied interfaces in order to model
the (strong) glue.

Dummy setting :
The dummy is added in the model using the safety position tools. When the
different parts of the dummy model is moved, the joint stiffnesses have to be also
updated.
The dummy is set on its right position even if there is intersection with the seat
cushion. This intersection is removed with the seat deformer of HyperCrash or the
morphing tool of HyperMesh.

Contact interfaces :
A contact interface between the dummy and the outside surface of the cushion is
defined.
Because the dummy is defined as rigid body, it should only be defined as master
surface in the interface. In the other case, the friction will be not correctly computed.
The gap of this interface is bigger than the reality in order to have a smooth contact
force during the computation and a good sliding behavior.

In order to take into account the friction (infinite one) between the

Loadcase :
On the floor, an imposed velocity (global X direction) is set on the master node of the rigid body in order
to reproduce the car deceleration during the crash.
The other degrees of freedom of the floor rigid body master node are clamped.
