Abstract
The Porsche airbag module is an extension of the MADYMO 2d simulation program version 4.0. It generates contact forces between the airbag and the contact cylinders and /or contact planes of the dummy or the vehicle interior respectively. The present paper gives examples of driver's and passenger's side airbag simulations with various parameters and an example of a child out- of- position simulation. Finally, the limits of airbag simulation in this program are explained.
