  Experimental data concerning binary events in peripheral collisions for the
systems 93Nb+93Nb and 93Nb+116Sn at 38 MeV/nucleon, collected with the Fiasco
setup, are compared with calculations performed with the dynamic code AMD,
coupled with the statistical code Gemini used as an afterburner. The comparison
focuses on the properties of the quasiprojectile (QP) and on the total
multiplicities of the emitted light charged particles. A good reproduction of
the average mass ratio, charge Z and c.m. angle of the QP is obtained in the
examined impact parameter range (b~7-12 fm). Concerning the light charged
particles, a general agreement is found for the total emitted charge, while
some discrepancy remains for the multiplicities of the various species,
especially for the protons which are always overestimated by the calculations.
