This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for adjusting a model. The method includes: obtaining a first collision
simulation result based on a whole-vehicle
collision model of a vehicle; the first collision
simulation result includes at least the
impact force of a first barrier and a protective beam in the vertical direction and a first acceleration of the non-deformed position of the protective beam in the vertical direction; determining the equivalent
mass that generates the
impact force based on the
impact force and the first acceleration; controlling a second barrier included in the simplified
collision model to impact the protective beam included in the simplified
collision model with the impact force based on a simplified collision model of the vehicle and the equivalent
mass, thereby obtaining a second collision
simulation result; determining a first
distance based on the first collision simulation result; determining a second
distance based on the second collision simulation result; and adjusting the simplified collision model based on the difference between the first distance and the second distance.
