Dear colleagues,
to store and exchange the position and orientation of rigid bodies in crashtests we need
some new MainLocations and the new FineLocation1 OR for the origin of the
reference coordinate system.
In most cases the origin of a body is different from the center of gravity.

The vehicle, dummyparts and impactors have valid MainLocations like VEHC, HEAD, PELV, FEMR, TIBI.
In addition we need the new MainLocations:

• THOR for the thorax of a dummy proposal:
  POLE for the pole
  BARR for the barrier

I think we don't need new figures for this Locations.

I expect that THOR could be misunderstood with the upcomming THOR dummy type.
May it will be better to use something like:

THOX
THRX

instead of THOR?

May we should also discuss to use a Main Location that already exists for the Thorax like CHST?

? 0 VEHC OR 00 00 DS X,Y,Z ?

Agreed to use CHST (not THRX, THOR etc)
Agreed that BARR is not required: use FBAR or MBAR instead.
Agreed to adopt POLE.

Agreed to use OR for origin.
