We describe how a lack of consideration of this variation can lead to surprises during testing, with the associated risk of unplanned costs, an present a technique using Principle Component Analysis to improve the robustness of the CAE crash models.ensimulationcrashairbagbifurcationrobustness003005006518conference paper
