Abstract
Before the appearance of efficient computer architectures for scientific numerical computations, only analytical methods were available for modeling systems. The analyses often used rather restrictive hypotheses (truncated and/or linearized models, for instance). The emergence of powerful processors and reliable and user-friendly languages and software led the scientific community to develop numerical programs able to cover a wide range of applications in a given field (ex.: structural dynamics, multibody dynamics, fluid mechanics, electronic circuits, ...). In particular, numerous multibody programs were developed all over the world as from the seventies [80], each of them being described as a general purpose multibody code, although, in reality, they all imposed some restrictions on both modeling and analysis.
