The CARDS (Cask Rail Car Dynamic Simulator) model was modified to simulate the cask-rail car systems used in Tests 13, 16 and 18 of the series of rail car coupling tests conducted at the Savannah River Laboratories (SRL) in July and August of 1978. An assessment of how well CARDS simulates the behavior of these cask-rail car systems was made by comparing calculated and experimental values of four response variables. This completes the development and validation of the CARDS model.
