Introduction to Simpack
SIMULIA Simpack is a general multibody system simulation (MBS) software enabling analysts and engineers to simulate the non-linear motion of any mechanical or mechatronic system. It is particularly well-suited for high frequency transient analyses, even into the acoustic range. SIMULIA Simpack was primarily developed to handle complex non-linear models with flexible bodies and harsh shock contact. This course explains the basics of multibody model set-up, simulation and postprocessing within the SIMULIA Simpack environment and provides a look at best practices and underlying theory to build a base for more advanced Simpack applications.
