Simulations The simulations below were created using a combination of the ADAMS and Lifemodeler software packages.
The ADAMS package is an automotive/mechanical engineering software package that was purchased to research the interaction between the components that make up the Leatt-Brace™ through a variety of applications such as durability, impact and vibration testing.
The Lifemodeler package is a plug-in that is built on top of ADAMS and enables the Company to build human models within a mechanical environment (e.g. a man on a motorbike). This allows for the accurate measurement of forces, bending moments, etc. anywhere in the human model (e.g. the neck). Final Element Analysis is also used.
