Pedestrian protection on the front hood

One hood mechanism, two tasks: normal opening and closing, and the movement for active pedestrian protection. ASOMv10 plays back both motion sequences in one model.

The task

Normal opening and pedestrian protection in one mechanism

The hood should open and close normally. For active pedestrian protection, the same mechanism additionally performs a movement of its own. Both belong in one model, and yet it should be possible to examine each part individually.

What ASOM shows here
  • The advanced drive control combines opening, closing and pedestrian protection into one motion sequence.
  • The overall motion sequence is divided into sections.
  • You pick out individual sections and simulate them in a targeted way.
Your benefits

Check complex motion sequences step by step

You examine precisely the section that matters at the moment, while keeping the entire motion sequence in the model.

One model for all motion sequences

Normal operation and pedestrian protection share one model; every change takes effect in both. More on motion sequences

Get to the core faster

Instead of playing back the entire motion sequence, you jump straight to the critical phase.

Clear presentation

You attach images and sketches to the moving parts – turning the model into a presentation. More on presentation

Flush-mounted door handle

A retractable handle with three specified positions. Two syntheses hold them in place while you move bearings, and ASOMv10 calculates eight drive cases at once.
