Outline of Final Research Achievements	Currently, several simulation models have been proposed to evaluate damages to a brain. However, their models are available for particular researchers because of the copyright. If a simulation model of a head can be used freely, many researchers could start a lot of works on an injury prediction. As results, many researches about head protection technology will be accelerated. In this study, a finite element model of a head which can be used freely was developed. In addition, some software associated with the model was also developed.
