Multi Body Systems

For the multi body system simulation, a mechanical system is represented as a collection of rigid bodies. This system can be calculated quite easily and consists of all critical elements involved in the process. The simulation model contains all the physical properties which accurately define the individual components. These include the mass moment and/or mass moment of inertia, the active forces and momentums and the boundary and contact conditions.

The model simulation results in (vibrating) movements and (inertial) forces. This data is required for example for the strength evaluation through the FE-analysis or for further optimising the system components and their interactions.
