Human Body Model (HBM)

The Human Body Model (HBM) is a computerized tool used to simulate how the human body reacts to mechanical impacts, such as car crashes or blows. It helps researchers and safety engineers analyze potential injuries by representing body parts with detailed virtual models that include bones, tissues, and organs. The HBM predicts stress, strain, and injury risk during collisions, aiding in the design of safer vehicles and protective gear. Essentially, it provides a realistic way to study human response to impacts without physical testing on real subjects.
