Vehicle Animation Software (VAS) to Animate Results Obtained from VehicleHandling and Rollover Simulations and Tests

摘要

The report describes the development and application of the Vehicle AnimationSoftware (VAS) capable of animating the results from vehicle handling and rollover simulations and experimental tests. The computer simulations which can currently be animated using VAS include the IMIRS, ITRS and AVRM developed for NHTSA by Andrzej G. Nalecz and the University of Missouri-Columbia. The report includes the user's manual and technical report, and explains the required format for experimental data files which are to be animated.
