See what some of our customers have been saying about Virtual CRASH!

“Virtual CRASH is an essential and integral part of our workflow at Florida Forensic Engineering, Inc. for accident reconstruction and engineering analysis of mechanical systems. This powerful software allows us to make realistic presentation of our findings with convincing renderings at a fraction of time and cost.

At its heart Virtual CRASH is a versatile full 3D physics and dynamics motion simulator. The combination of powerful and mathematically accurate simulations with seamless ability to integrate environment data from point clouds and images allow us to make realistic and defendable simulations in a seamless workflow. Additionally, we regularly use this nifty physics tool to create realistic and interesting animations of functional concepts of design mechanisms to demonstrate specific inner workings besides confusing drawings. For example, we demonstrated a lock mechanism’s inner working. In another case we demonstrated the effects of suspension lift kit on the roll characteristics of a custom modified pickup truck. In yet another use we used the force profile to demonstrate tip over characteristics of a beach wheelchair as it travels over an undulating terrain.

The use of Virtual CRASH for mechanical systems concept analysis and accident reconstruction has allowed us at Florida Forensic Engineering, Inc. to become highly effective at communicating our knowledge and findings with our clients. We thank the staff at Virtual CRASH for their dedication to both educating our staff as well as their continued and tireless service of supporting this extraordinary tool.”

"Collision reconstruction experts have a variety of software tools in the industry to choose from when performing the necessary tasks required to conduct their analysis.  Over the years I have built-up a tool set of software packages that I use when conducting my investigations. Since I began using Virtual CRASH 4, it has become my tool of choice.  It handles everything from basic scene measurement data entry and import, to advanced tasks such as importing and working with multiple 3D laser scan point clouds.  It also has a built-in Google Earth image and terrain draping tool, or you can import and scale aerial photos from UAV cameras for use as textures for geometry or as overlays for point clouds. 

Virtual CRASH performs highly detailed physics analysis and 3D simulations of collisions involving vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and objects.  It also provides the ability to perform custom 3D animations with the option of incorporating vehicle to object interactions as simulations with realistic results.  The simulations and animations are easily exported as high definition videos for presentation and the simulation data is displayed nicely in reports or graphically within the detailed diagram tool.  The data can also be easily exported for further analysis in other programs, such as Excel.         

The Virtual CRASH website provides a vast library of video tutorials, blog posts, reference links, knowledge base posts and an up to date on-line user’s guide to assist users with their work.

I highly recommend Virtual CRASH software to everyone in the traffic crash reconstruction industry!"

"I have been using Virtual CRASH for more than 10 years in the reconstruction of vehicular and pedestrian accidents. The solutions have been developed and verified against known experimental data bases and provide accurate and intuitive solutions for use in Forensic applications, both in analysis as well as a basis for testimony."
