Features

PC-Crash 10.0

PC-Crash™ is a Windows™ collision & trajectory simulation tool that enables the accurate analysis of a wide variety of motor vehicle collisions and other incidents.

Results are viewed as 3D-animations and detailed reports, tables and graphs.
PC-Crash™ has an innovative collision model that efficiently balances simplicity and accuracy in reconstructing vehicle collisions.
And the Collision Optimizer cuts hours off of your search for the best solution.

MEA Forensic sells and supports PC-Crash™ and PC-Rect™ in North America and other areas of the world.

Training

PC-Crash is technical software for serious users.
It’s powerful and gives you a lot of freedom,
so that you can simulate unique events.
It therefore necessarily leaves you the option to make a mess.
Don’t let yourself do this.

 

MEA now offers frequent online training courses throughout the year.  Get everything you need to get started and then some with the Essentials series.  Go to the next level with the Expert classes, where we teach more advanced features. Make sure you know what’s going on under the hood with our new Theory series, and prove to yourself that the calculations are correct. And hone your skills with the Validation series, where you and the instructor work through complete reconstructions of real-world staged events.    Or call us for a quote on customized training at any level.

Online PC-Crash Training

Due to popular demand, we are offering online courses. Interact with Brad live over webex. See and hear him work through examples, and ask questions.

Live Workshops

Meet Andreas Moser, lead programmer on PC-Crash.

Course series:

Essentials: Everything you must know to use PC-Crash.
Expert: Advanced topics. These courses still show what the program can do, and how do you do it, but go beyond the Essentials.
Theory: Digging into how PC-Crash works, comparing with analytical results. Call it “Cross-examination proofing”.
Skills & Validation: Reconstructing staged collisions, rollovers, and human interactions. Looking at errors, sensitivity and engineering judgment issues.
