Studied and described the basics of computer modeling technique for truck cab testing in compliance with the international UNECE safety regulation No 29. Analyzed the features of the tests in accordance with Revision 2, 03 series of amendments to the Regulation. Shown an example of truck cab computer test simulation with use of ANSYS LS-DYNA software. Model properties settings and simulation results analysis concerned with estimation of the residual space in the cabin is made using LS-PrePost.
