multi-body dynamics – Simulating Reality, Delivering Certainty

Debunking the 5 myths of Multibody Dynamics – Myth 3: Multibody Dynamics Simulations is the same as simplified component level representations

Hemanth Kolera-Gokula — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 15:33:27 +0000

In this blog series we are debunking 5 myths of multi-body dynamics. In this thirdblog, we address the myth that Multibody Dynamic Simulation is the same as simplified component level representations. In Multibody Dynamics (MBD) simulations, the most complex part within a mechanism may be represented as a simple link so that its dynamics can ...

Debunking the 5 myths of multi-body Dynamics – Myth 1: MBD simulation is motion analysis

Hemanth Kolera-Gokula — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 16:59:19 +0000

In this blog series we are debunking 5 myths of multi-body dynamics. In this first blog, we address the myth that MBD simulation is motion analysis. Multibody Dynamics (MBD) simulation stretches far beyond merely simulating the motion of constrained mechanisms. It lays the foundation for collaborative systems development and serves as a basis for various ...

Improve FSAE Vehicle Performance with MSC Adams Car Sponsorship

Product Marketing — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 17:39:05 +0000

Formula Student is a contest in which university students construct a single-seat formula racing car. It’s not the fastest car that wins, however, but rather the team that racks up the highest overall score across a range of categories: design, financial planning, and sales strategy. MSC Software has provided support to various teams with its ...

No More Guessing! – Enhanced Design Insight Using the EDEM-Adams Coupling

David Curry — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 18:21:16 +0000

In this final blog of our Adams-EDEM co-simulation series, Darren Simoni from DSIM Technologies explains how EDEM and Adams have been used during the design of a skid-steer loader to increase the accuracy of system level simulation using less time and effort than traditional load estimation methods.

Coupled Powertrain and Vehicle Analysis

Jonathan Zeman — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 17:00:39 +0000

Today's vehicle and powertrain engineers face increasing challenges to meet fuel economy and drive quality targets, while at the same time keep vehicle cost reasonable. Many of the new engine technologies designed to improve fuel economy create difficulties for the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) engineer, whose job it is to assure a certain level of comfort for the occupants.

Get Your Hands Dirty! – How to Run An Adams-EDEM Co-Simulation

David Curry — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:00:07 +0000

In my previous blog post I introduced the Adams-EDEM coupling that allows engineers to realistically simulate how bulk materials interact with their systems dynamics. In this post I want to give some insight on the workflow needed to use the coupling.

How to Use Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) with Your System Dynamics Workflow

Product Marketing — Thu, 19 May 2016 17:00:22 +0000

How to Use Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) with Your System Dynamics Workflow Over the past 15 years simulation process and data management (SPDM) systems have become more advanced alongside the increasing need for complex testing and simulations. SPDM now gives companies the ability to have more effective processes, more certain data outputs ...

New Trailer Suspension Designs Tested in Hours Compared to Days or Weeks

Product Marketing — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 17:00:52 +0000

Overview The primary function of heavy duty trailer suspensions is to link the trailer to its wheels. This provides a compliant connection which protects the trailer cargo from the shock and vibration inputs developed at the road surface. In addition, the suspension must meet the customers’ expectations for usable life, and do so while being ...

Computer based modeling and analysis plays a pivotal role in the packaging industry as it seeks to differentiate and deliver unique value to its customers

Product Marketing — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 18:56:00 +0000

Simulation and analysis, or Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), enables engineers and organizations to analyze and explore new packaging processes and methods in a virtual environment, reducing the time and cost requirements associated with physical and experimental testing. For over 40 years, product manufacturers in transportation industries have relied on computer simulations as a means to ...
