Hit the road, dude A rigid pickup came in at 100 km/h and 25°, and tried to cut the line.The guardrail said no. I built this guardrail impact model in Abaqus/Explicit. The truck is rigid on purpose, so all the focus is on the guardrail.What you see: the rail takes the hit, bends, and spreads the load to its posts. The truck stays out and slides along the barrier instead of going through.Sim
