Other

  • X-Crash by MeasX

Issue Details

  • Is it possible to achieve the same functionality that X-Crash by MeasX offers using the DIAdem Crash Analysis Toolkit instead?
  • I am looking to replace the third party solution X-Crash. Does NI offer anything similar?
  • How does the DIAdem Crash Analysis Toolkit compare with X-Crash by MeasX?

Solution

[External] X-Crash is a third party software tool developed by [External] MeasX, meaning that NI cannot provide a detailed breakdown of it's capabilities or a side-by-side comparison against the DIAdem Crash Analysis Toolkit (CAT). 

 

X-Crash is based on DIAdem CAT, but is intended to be a turn-key solution for analyzing vehicle crash data that is in line with pertinent standards. DIAdem is a more wide-scoped tool that is not specifically designed be be crash test accreditation compliant. Attaining the same capabilities as X-Crash using just DIAdem CAT would require extensive customization of DIAdem and an in depth understanding of scripting.
