    This document summarizes the finite element model of a 1997 Toyota RAV4 that was created by the FHWA/NHTSA National Crash Analysis Center. The model contains over 494,000 elements and was benchmarked against frontal crash test data. Key metrics like accelerometer locations, computer specs used to run the simulation, and comparisons to physical crash test results are provided. Issues with moving the partially assembled vehicle during the digitization process compromised the accuracy of the FE model.

    Notes & Observations


    Toyota RAV-4 model was digitized between the time periods of 2003 -2005. The process of digitization was interrupted due to operational and facilities improvement. This involved physically moving the partially disassembled vehicle with co-ordinate setup (FARO arm) to different places within NCAC. The physical move of partially disassembled vehicle and FARO arm compromised the accuracy of the FE model and subsequent model response.
