Here’s a crash test simulation video that Proton is playing at its Power of 1 event happening this week from March 14-18, from 10 am to 10 pm daily, at Bukit Jalil.
From what I understand, what engineers do is actually put in all the dimensions, shapes and specs of the car chassis into a simulation software, where they then perform virtual crash tests, which can be simulated through our understanding of the laws of physics, etc.
From there, they’ll use the results to further tweak the car until they are satisfied with the simulation crash test results. The physical car is then sent for a real-world crash test after the computer-aided design part is done.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally discuss the use of crash simulation software like CAE, CATIA, and LS-DYNA in Proton's crash tests, emphasizing that these are advanced tools used globally for safety design and reducing costly real-world testing. Many acknowledge that simulations are not substitutable for real crash tests but are essential for preliminary assessments. There's some skepticism about trusting simulation results without official crash test data, as well as praise for Proton's efforts. Off-topic discussions and technical debates are filtered out; overall sentiment is cautiously positive, emphasizing the importance of official testing.
