Appendix 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED FROM VIRTUAL TESTING METHODS

2. Fundamentals of computer simulation and calculation

2.1. Mathematical model

The simulation/calculation model supplied by the applicant must reflect the complexity of the vehicle and/or component structure in combination with the requirements of the regulatory act and its boundary conditions.

The model must be supplied to the technical service.

2.2. Validation of the model

The model must be validated in comparison with the actual test conditions. Comparability of the results of the model with results of conventional test procedures must be proven.

2.3. Documentation
