VIVA+ Validation Catalog#

VIVA+ is a lineup of open source finite element models of the human body, developed primarily for injury assessment in vehicle safety. This catalog documents the validations performed for the VIVA+ models.

The documentation for the VIVA+ models are available at https://vivaplus.readthedocs.io/

The validation simulations, including the setup and postprocessing notebooks, can be accessed at the repository https://openvt.eu/fem/viva/vivaplus-validation/

Catalog Contents#

The validations are aranged in two sections based on the models used in the simulations:

  • Full Model, where the full VIVA+ models are used in a simulation

  • Submodels, where isolated models are used for regional/component-based evaluation.
