reduce the costs of vehicle crashes, and lead to better
and safer vehicles, roadways, and drivers. At NADS, he was responsible for developing and maintaining multibody dynamics software used for real time operator-in-the-loop vehicle simulations in addition to creating and validating new vehicle models for use at NADS. For three years from 1997 to 2000, Dr. Holtz was Senior Development Engineer at LMS CADSI, the Mechanical Simulation Technologies Division of LMS International. He was responsible for implementing new capabilities and improving the performance of the commercial software package DADS.. Dr. Holtz implemented new capabilities such as:
At LMS CADSI Dr. Holtz was also involved in developing implicit integration techniques for differential-algebraic equations, flexible body dynamics and static analysis. From 1988 to 1989 Dr. Holtz held the position of Associate Engineer at Douglas Aircraft Company. Dr. Holtz worked with the wing structural design group and the propulsion systems design group on the C-17 military transport aircraft.
