KEY FEATURES

Robust and User-Friendly
HBM Connect® is stable and easy to use for product development of safety applications.

Easily Integrates into Vehicle Models 
HBM Connect® integrates into vehicle models, offering fast iterations for the safety system optimization.

Uses Appropriate Materials and Anatomical Details
HBM Connect® uses appropriate material characterization and anatomical details, resulting in reliable responses needed for product development applications in crash simulations.

Represents Diverse Populations
HBM Connect® operates with the largest body scan library in the world. For example, models that represent standard ATD sizes, females, children, the elderly, the obese, and a global demographic sizes.

Validated Using a Vast Human Impact Dataset
HBM Connect® is validated using a vast variety of human impact tests to ensure accuracy and biofidelity.

Future Safety Applications
HBM Connect® is built to meet future NCAP certification requirements, the ideal human body model tool for use by the same CAE engineers who are knowledgeable in using ATD FE models.

Closed Loop System
HBM Connect® ensures consistency and accuracy of data when transitioning from virtual to physical products

Ergonomic Integration
HBM Connect® seamlessly links to RAMSIS to transfer occupant posture, predict where occupants will sit in a vehicle, and enables ergonomic data application for realistic human interaction simulations.
