Mechanical CAD with Multibody Dynamic Analysis Based on Modelica Simulation
Vadim Engelson, Peter Bunus, Lucian Dragos Popescu, Peter Fritzson · 2003
In a comprehensive modeling and simulation environment, it is desirable to integrate models specified in different modeling formalisms. A complete integrated environment combines the powerful mechanical model design of CAD package with the structuring mechanisms of object oriented modeling language including a mathematical and logical behavior representation. We present a system for simulation of multi-domain models, which has been implemented using Modelica as a standard model representation. The user can work with mechanical models designed with AutoDesk’s Mechanical Desktop, extend it in various ways, and analyze the simulation results in a high performance interactive visualization environment.
