The vehicle safety tools' Injury menu offers calculations for all known injury assessment tools. Each of the assessments may be used to generate either a note or a curve at your discretion. The assessments clearly indicate the required units for input data. If your data does not match the required input, you can use the Units menu to convert the data or, optionally, supply conversion factors directly to the input.
Beginning in HyperGraph 14.0, when units are enabled, the Injury menu functions support internal unit conversion, without any user-defined scaling or modification required. See Enabling Units for more information.
