NARD 2.0 is a finite element code with the capability of simulating vehicle dynamics and maneuvering and vehicle crashes with roadside objects. The vehicle is modeled as a three-dimensional lumped parameter articulated body consisting of multiple units. The barrier is modeled as a three-dimensional object represented by displacement finite elements. Large deflections and rotations are accommodated in the program through nonlinear material behavior. The vehicle/barrier interaction is modeled by geometrically determining the interference between the two surfaces. The volume is the users manual for NARD 2.0.
