Modeling Multibody Dynamics with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Durée: 38:31
Multibody dynamics modeling plays a vital role in the development of systems with multiple interconnected parts by helping engineers identify components and how they interact in motion — ultimately allowing for improved performance and durability of their designs.
This archived webinar provides an overview of the Multibody Dynamics Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, in which you can analyze complex assemblies of flexible components, rigid components, or a combination of both. We illustrate these capabilities through a series of demonstrations, modeling joints, gears, chain drives, and lumped mechanical systems with predefined multiphysics interfaces available in the software.
