multibody dynamics – Simulating Reality, Delivering Certainty

Debunking the 5 myths of Multibody Dynamics – Myth 5: Real-time MBD simulations = Reduced Order Models (ROMs)

Hemanth Kolera-Gokula — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 09:23:36 +0000

A real-time simulation mandates that the virtual model delivers a response/solution output at specific time increments in the same or less time than the physical system. This way, the state of the virtual system is always synchronized with the physical components to provide an accurate testing environment. For this reason, real-time compliant vehicle dynamics models ...

Debunking the 5 myths of Multibody Dynamics – Myth 4: MBD simulations require specialist knowledge

Hemanth Kolera-Gokula — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 08:42:36 +0000

Exploring the behavior of systems using simulation has traditionally been the domain of simulation engineers or analysts. Complexity in simulation interfaces, or in simulation techniques and procedures, created the need for highly specialized users. A lack of standards for model exchange and interoperability compounded these issues. In the field of systems dynamics simulation, MBD analysts ...

Debunking the 5 myths of Multibody Dynamics – Myth 2: Multibody Dynamics Simulation is Conceptual System Analyses

Hemanth Kolera-Gokula — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 15:18:57 +0000

In this blog series we are debunking 5 myths of multi-body dynamics. In this second blog, we address the myth that Multibody Dynamic Simulation is the same as Conceptual System Analyses. Though Multibody Dynamic (MBD) Simulations are used heavily during the conceptual design of dynamic systems, their benefits extend through all phases of the development ...

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.

Dig the Dirt! – Application Examples using Adams-EDEM Co-Simulation

David Curry — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 17:00:56 +0000

In my previous blogs I introduced the Adams-EDEM coupling, and explained how it works. In this post I want to share with you two examples of the Adams-EDEM coupling in action!

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 ...

Multibody Dynamics Integrated with Simulation Process and Data Management

Product Marketing — Wed, 18 May 2016 17:00:10 +0000

Today, manufacturing firms are avoiding iterative and costly physical testing processes by implementing CAE tools into their engineering cycle. They only produce few or sometimes no prototypes at all and they easily test the products’ durability, noise and vibration harshness (NVH), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and morewith these tools during the design process. Particularly ...

Adams Car Integration with Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM)

Product Marketing — Tue, 17 May 2016 17:01:04 +0000

To avoid iterative tests and multiple design changes to physical prototypes, engineers today use simulation software. Adams Car is a system dynamics solution that allows car manufacturers to build and test functional virtual prototypes of the complete vehicle under various road conditions and design changes. Adams Car’s architecture is based on databases of CDBs, which ...
