Adding a Vehicle or Barrier to the MassZone Universe (MZU)

In order to predict a crash using MassZone, you must add the objects to the MZU.

To add an object (vehicle or barrier) to MassZone:

1. Select a vehicle or barrier model.

2. In the Model tools panel, expand MassZone Properties and select Add to MassZone. This will make the vehicle part of the MZU (MassZone Universe).

3. If the model is a rigid fixed barrier, enable Fixed Barrier.

4. Enable Pole for fixed barriers that have a small cross section of impact. Due to the higher level of penetration across a smaller cross-section with the colliding vehicle, you must make special considerations must be made.

5. Otherwise, enter the Initial Velocity of the vehicle.

6. Open the MZU Control Panel and run the prediction.
