HVE (http://www.edccorp.com/products hve.html) from Engineering Dynamics Corporation (EDC (http://www.edccorp.com)) allows you to reconstruct and simulate crashes involving all types of road vehicles (passenger cars, trucks, articulated vehicles, etc.). 3-dimensional issues involving vehicle rollover, collision under-ride, irregular road surfaces, as well as system failures, such as brake defects or tire blow-out, are handled directly.

The human mind has difficulty interpreting the large amounts of numerical data generated by a simulation, but easily comprehends vast amounts of visual data. Using HVE's 3-D viewers, based on Open Inventor from VSG (http://www.vsg3d.com/vsg_prod_openinventor.php) you can quickly and easily visualize the meaning of the information within the numerical results.

Remember this scene?
A 1968 Mustang GT, driven by Lt. Frank Bullitt, is chasing a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, driven by a man known only as "The Killer", down Taylor Street on Russian Hill in San Francisco.
