Abstract

Four different analytical methods were developed to evaluate the accuracy of a mathematical model to tit a crash test, defined by a set of experimental channels. For each evaluated curve, composed of an experimental and a simulation channel, one of these 4 methods is used and a score is computed, between 0 and 100%. A specifically developed software, ModEval, was made to perform these evaluations. Results were confirmed by an analysis of subjective model evaluations. made by 40 persons proficient in mathematical model designing. ModEval is a flexible software that can be used to quantify the quality of simulations, establish model specifications, assist in modelling and present results.
