The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration within the Department of Transportation is seeking research and development services for Finite Element Modeling to support its mission of reducing roadway deaths and injuries. The primary objective is to develop and execute crash simulations of vehicle safety research tests to predict potential safety implications. This scope of work includes full vehicle laser scanning, vehicle teardowns for the creation of new finite element models, material testing to determine behavior under impact conditions, mesh development, and part integration for full vehicle and component models. While some tasks may utilize lumped parameter modeling software like MADYMO, the majority of the effort will focus on non-linear finite element analysis. This project is forecasted as an 8(a) set-aside under NAICS code 541380, with specific research and development efforts to be managed through individual Task Orders issued under the contract.
