USE OF COMPUTER SIMULATION IN FORENSIC BIOMECHANICS

The article deals with a criminalistic experiment and the possibility of using computer modeling. The paper describes the current possibilities of using computer simulation and presents the possibility of using it in clarifying versions in the case of a specific crime. A promising method is the Virtual Crash 3 program. This is certified software that was developed for forensic engineering and biomechanical applications. This method makes it possible to simulate situations that cannot be practically realized by a real experiment with a mannequin or a living person. The paper presents one specific example. Computer simulation of human movement can very accurately clarify the probability of individual versions when assessing a person's fall from a height.
