Airbags Simulation: Learn How to Do It & Can Solidworks Help?

Stimulating "Airbags"

Recently I'm into it on Airbags and really want to know how it works
I've seen some airbags stimulation on YouTube and I'm curious on how to do it?
Anyone have experience doing it?
Can Solidwork produce such stimulation?
PS:Immma Poor English It's Simulation instead of Stimulation Duhhh

SolidWorks mostly likely cannot (depending on what you want to simulate). If you want to simulate an airbag deploying, then you'd need a code that can do highly non-linear dynamics, such as LS-DYNA (Abaqus and MSC can do it as well, but probably not as well as LS-DYNA).

Agreed, this is a very difficult simulation to accomplish and would require a non-linear explicit dynamics simulation code like LS-DYNA or similar. There are several papers available online on this topic, for example: http://www.dynamore.de/de/download/...bag-simulation-with-ls-dyna-past-2013-present

IIRC, LS-Dyna has some algorithms specifically for simulating airbags, in particular the initial "unfolding" of the bag from "empty".

Making a nice-looking video isn't too hard, with any reasonable non-linear dynamics code. The hard part is making a video that looks the same as a high speed movie of deploying a real airbag!

I am glad to see your interest in understanding how airbags work. Airbags are a critical safety feature in modern vehicles, and it is important to understand their functionality.

To answer your question, yes, Solidworks can definitely help with airbag simulation. Solidworks is a powerful computer-aided design (CAD) software that is widely used in engineering and manufacturing industries. It has advanced simulation capabilities that can simulate the deployment of airbags and analyze their performance.

To create a simulation of airbags, you will need to have a good understanding of the physics behind their deployment. This includes factors such as the speed and angle of impact, the size and weight of the vehicle, and the location and number of airbags. With this information, you can use Solidworks to create a virtual model of the airbag system and simulate its deployment in different scenarios.

There are also many tutorials and resources available online that can guide you through the process of creating airbag simulations using Solidworks. Additionally, if you have access to a physical airbag system, you can use Solidworks to validate your simulation results by comparing them to real-world data.

In conclusion, Solidworks can definitely help with creating airbag simulations, but it is important to have a good understanding of the underlying physics and parameters involved. I would encourage you to continue exploring and learning about airbags and their simulations.
