Material Properties to simulate a seatbelt.

[jxc]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I have subscribed to this forum for a while & would like first to say congradulations on all the well thought & insightful responses. I have a fair amount of FEA experience & some questions are elementary for me, but the overall responses are very respectful. Thank you.

My question, I am interested in running an analysis to simulate a federal motor vehicle standard that would involve the seatbelt to transmit the load & I have not found adequate material property data for the seatbelt. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look. I have no problem inputing the data into my FEA tool, I need help with the actual material property data.

Thanks,

John C.
