CRASH 3

What is CRASH 3?

Vehicle dynamics and collision simulator.

At its core, Virtual CRASH 3 is a vehicle dynamics and collision simulation tool that has been enhanced for accident reconstructionists. The use of rigid body dynamics in its physics mechanism allows for an extremely fast workflow and, because calculations are "closed-form" equations of classical physics, its simulation solutions are extremely easy to correlate with standard accident reconstruction methods.

Set the stage.

Whether it's full station measurements or terrain meshes built from UAV or scanner data, you can import them into Virtual CRASH 3 and use them in your simulation.

Terrain meshes.  Convert your laser scan or UAV data into a terrain mesh and import the dxf or 3ds file into Virtual CRASH 3. You can simulate your vehicles driving directly on top of your terrain mesh using true 3D physics.

Total station measurements.  Easily import your overall station measurements and incorporate them into your diagram and simulation.

Aerial photographs.  It only takes a few seconds to import and scale your aerial images.

Build complex roads.  Build your own custom 3-D roads and add custom ramps and crowns to road surfaces.

Orthographic views.  You can switch the camera from perspective to orthographic view to help perfect your road design and make amazing visuals.

Simulate impacts from motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

The multibody collision physics model is incredibly fast. Set up your motorcycle, bike, or pedestrian impact simulations in minutes and get immediate results.

Motorcycle collision simulations.  Sit the multibody model on your motorcycle and quickly and easily simulate your motorcycle collision case.

Simulations of collisions with bicycles.  As well as simulating motorcycle accidents, simulating bike accidents is extremely easy in Virtual CRASH 3.

Pedestrian impact simulations.  Use the optimization feature to allow your pedestrian to move through the kinematics in your simulation until the moment of impact. No more flops and flops when you start your simulation.

Tractor-trailer simulations.

You can chain as many trailers as you want in Virtual CRASH 3. It takes seconds to attach and adjust the tractor-trailer system. You can even study dynamic load offset.

Customize your vehicles.

Use a mesh constructed from a 3D laser scan, from a third-party website, or just modify a vehicle from the Virtual CRASH 3 database. Virtual CRASH 3 offers incredible flexibility and control over the models of your vehicles.

Import 3D scanning meshes. If you have the know-how to create your own vehicle meshes from laser scans or photogrammetry tools, you can import them into Virtual CRASH 3 and use them as your vehicle model. Just import them in dxf or 3ds format.

Use third-party vehicle meshes.  Maybe you have found the perfect vehicle for your case on a third party website. As long as you convert to dxf or 3ds format, you can use it in Virtual CRASH 3!

Modify.  Of course you can fully customize all vehicles in Virtual CRASH 3 to match the overall size of the vehicles in question. You can also modify the useless properties and positions of the wheels.

Add elements.  You can even add custom color patterns and other elements to your vehicles, such as siren lights, bumpers, and more. There really are no limits in Virtual CRASH 3!

Incredibly versatile.

Create accident scenes, crime scene diagrams, and more. You can simulate car accidents, crashes and other setbacks. If you can find the 3D models of objects you need for your scene, you can import them into Virtual CRASH 3 and incorporate them into your physical simulation or diagram.
