Q3 FE
The Q3 is an advanced Q series dummy representing a 3-year-old child. In 1993 the international Child Dummy Working Group began the development of Q series child dummies as a successor to the P-series. Part of the development and evaluation of the Q-dummies took place within European Research programs CREST1, CHILD2, CASPER3, and EPOCh4, all aiming at improving child safety in cars.
The Q3 dummy is suitable for frontal as well as side impact CRS evaluations. It is used for both homologation, consumer rating, and research purposes.
The FE model is validated and calibrated to certification tests.
The Q3 APTS (Abdomen Pressure Twin Sensor) model was introduced and validated at two impact speeds. The abdomen pressure sensors are required for ADAC child seat consumer rating and C-NCAP 2021 full-frontal width testing.
Humanetics offers highly detailed and validated Q3 models in ANSYS LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, and RADIOSS Finite Element codes.
