Abstract

A passenger side air bag model in CAL3D for occupant dynamics analysis is presented. Two new features, an advanced inflator model and a multi contact ellipsoid method for describing bag shapes, are used in this model. The existing computation scheme of the program for evaluating the air bag volume and gas dynamics is preserved. Illustrative examples are presented.
