Auto-extraction from the FE model allows for a quick recovery of the seatbelt system
without having to recreate the seatbelt.
If an FE model is imported with a seatbelt system without seatbelt metadata defined
in the solver input deck, there is no seatbelt system in the
Seatbelt Browser.
Note: Seatbelt auto-extraction is only available in
the LS-DYNA user profile.
-
To open the seatbelt auto-extraction GUI, right-click in the Seatbelt Browser and select .
The seatbelt auto-extraction GUI appears in the Entity Editor.
-
To extract the seatbelt model:
-
Type a name for the system into the SeatBelt System Name field.
-
Select all components that define the seatbelt system to be extracted
(1D components, 2D components, and so on) in the Seatbelt Mesh
Components field.
-
Select all components that are in direct contact with the seatbelt in
the Wrap Around Components field.
-
In the Start Entity field, select from which entity the seatbelt system
starts. This can be a node, element, constrained extra node, or
retractor.
-
In the End Entity field, from which entity the seatbelt system ends.
This can be a node, element, constrained extra node, or retractor.
- Optional:
Select contacts between the seatbelt model and the wrap around
components if they already exist.
-
Click Create.
The seatbelt system is automatically extracted and exposed in
