FAQ

911 Help

For those times when you’re willing to pay for some help.  If your question fits into the phrasing “How should I do X?” then this is the option for you. This isn’t outsourced tech support – the people you’ll be talking to use PC Crash in their own consulting work daily.  These are experts who teach the courses, and speak regularly with the developers.   Email support@pc-crash.com. If this relates to an active case, include details for a conflict check (date of incident, location, and names of the parties involved). We’ll set you up a billing account, and get your problem solved right away.

Training

Live Workshops

Sometimes you need to carve out some time dedicated to learning. Come to our webinars and learn from the Lead Developer of PC-Crash, Dr. Andreas Moser, and Brad Heinrichs of MEA Forensic. Work through new features and case studies with them.  Or, better yet, attend our in-person workshops which are held twice a year.

Demo software is available at live workshops, but not available for webinars.

LIVE WORKSHOPS

Training on Demand

“Wait, can you do that again?” is the most frequently asked question at our Live Workshops. With Training on Demand, you are in the driver’s seat: You choose what topics to cover and when to cover them. Stop the lesson and replay whenever you like. On-Demand training lets you take training on your schedule at a very reasonable price.

Our On-Demand courses are each broken into smaller videos for easy replay. Take a whole course or brush up on a topic in just one of those chunks. Any PC-Crash materials used in each course are available for download from the course rental page so you can follow along.

More courses are being added all the time, so check back often. Sign up here to be notified when new videos are posted, or follow us on LinkedIn or Vimeo.

Demo software is not available for
Training-On-Demand.

OTHER APPS

MADYMO™

This optional module that extends PC-Crash’s existing occupant simulation abilities with full FEA. MADYMO will calculate the dynamics of a standard crash test dummy during crashes simulated with PC-Crash.

MADYMO

PC-Crash 2D

PC-Crash 2D lets you start with the essentials for a very attractive price. Plus, 2D users can upgrade to the full PC-Crash version at a reduced price.

PC-Crash 2D

PC-Rect

This package converts oblique scene photographs or videos pixel-by-pixel into scaled plan views. From the plan view, users can then measure in-plane distances and angles of accident scene evidence.
