EuroNCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) announced recently a modified testing protocol for side impact assessment using the EUROSID-2 dummy instead of the EUROSID-I dummy. The EUROSID-2 dummy is identical in many parts with the EUROSID-I dummy but shows different behavior in experiments. Hence, the<br/>
development of a model for the ES-2 dummy is of great interest for the automotive engineers working in the field of safety. EUROSID-2 finite element model has been developed in cooperation with the German Association for Automotive Research(FAT). This paper presents an overview of EUROSID-2 dummy and validation of the first version of FE dummy model for LS-DYNA.<br/>
