Oasys 21.0 Workflows Update 1 (W1) for Virtual Testing 

, , , , , ,

Historically, vehicle crashworthiness regulations and NCAP safety ratings relied solely on physical testing. New Virtual Testing protocols enhance vehicle safety by assessing design sensitivity across a broader spectrum of conditions while reducing costs. 

Oasys 21 features accurate correlation analysis and controls for Virtual Testing. Integrated and complementary tools automate assessments, enabling CAE and safety teams to analyse results thoroughly, with full support for VTC videos and quality checks. 

Oasys 21.0 W1 is the latest update to the Oasys Suite’s Virtual Testing Workflows. It provides comprehensive support for the Euro NCAP Virtual Far Side Simulation and Assessment Protocol. 

Download now! 

Highlights include: 

  • ISO/TS 18571:2024

    The correlation rating method has been upgraded to the recently published 2024 revision of the ISO standard. 
  • Validation Criteria 1 and 2 (VC1 and VC2)

    It is now easier than ever to check your simulations against VC1 and VC2, using the latest features of Automotive Assessments and SimVT. 
  • Automation

    You can now automate the correlation and assessment criteria calculations using two new REPORTER templates. 

There are also many performance and usability improvements to Automotive Assessments and SimVT, including: 

  • Improved handling of Parts Selection to eliminate repetitive data entry 
  • New Correlation Setup Window layout for clearer channel selection 
  • More control over channel matching 
  • Automatic calculation of evaluation intervals (TMIN and TMAX) 

For a complete list of enhancements, read the Changelog.

Further Development 

Development does not end with Oasys 21.0 W1. We continuously work on enhancements to the Virtual Testing Workflows, including support for other protocols. 

If you are interested in early access to the latest features, or if you would like more information or a demonstration of Virtual Testing with the Oasys LS-DYNA Environment, please contact us.
