Okay, good to know I was doing it correctly by hand. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the timely reply. If I do not have access to these software programs, do you know of an actual list of formulas I can use to calculate values for b1 and then A and B? The formula used by IPTM is as follows: DeltaV= change in velocity b0= zero crush speed (in/sec) L= overall length of c...

I am a newly certified reconstructionist. My training was conducted by a local police department with most of the topics taught by IPTM. One concept we did not dive into very much was calculating stiffness coefficients for crush profiles. A and B values are the ones I am struggling with. I can get G...
