Abstract :
In the vehicle development, the finite element (FE) simulation method about vehicle crashworthiness has been widely used. But how to reach a good correlation level is something that needs to be studied. Based on one car physical side impact test, through analysis of the correlation method between simulation and test we find a useful way to increase the correlation level. By following this correlation method strictly, we got a high correlation level between simulation and test than ever before. I It proved that this correlation method is very effective and cost saving.
