SIMPACK — A Computer Program for Simulation of Large-motion Multibody Systems

  • Chapter
Multibody Systems Handbook

Abstract

SIMPACK is a computer program for the simulation and calculation of motions and interacting forces of three-dimensional mechanical systems. The individual bodies can carry out geometrically large (non-linear) movements and may also exhibit elastic deformations.
