Patent ID: 8688422

Claim:
A method comprising: storing in memory a plurality of impact simulations for a vehicle and a plurality of instructions for assembling and disassembling a component of the vehicle; displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image of the vehicle using an electronic display; identifying one of a plurality of impact zones on the vehicle, one of a plurality of impact speeds, and one of a plurality of components that are selected by a user; retrieving one of the plurality of impact simulations from the memory based on the one of the plurality of impact zones that the user selects on the 3D image of the vehicle and the one of the plurality of impact speeds selected by the user; color-coding components in the 3D image of the vehicle to indicate a probability of damage based on the one of the plurality of impact simulations retrieved; retrieving one of the plurality of instructions from the memory based on the one of the plurality of components that the user selects on the 3D image of the vehicle; and displaying a three-dimensional (3D) animation illustrating the one of the plurality of instructions using the electronic display.
