Summary MBDyn - MultiBody Dynamics Software is a free MultiBody Dynamics analysis software system developed at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale of the University "Politecnico di Milano", Italy. It uses netCDF as its primary output format.
MBDyn features the integrated multidisciplinary analysis of ... multibody, multiphysics systems, including nonlinear mechanics of rigid and flexible constrained bodies, smart materials, electric networks, active control, hydraulic networks, essential fixed-wing and rotorcraft aerodynamics. It allows users to simulate the behavior of heterogeneous mechanical, aero-servo-elastic systems based on first principles equations. It is being actively developed and used in the aerospace and automotive fields for dynamics analysis and simulation of complex systems. Dynamic linking of user-defined modules is heavily exploited to let users extend the feature library.
Use Constraints The package MBDyn is provided AS IS AND WITHOUT ANY EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT WARRANTY. The developers' team and the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale of the University ''Politecnico di Milano'' shall not be considered responsible for any damage, including partial or total loss of data, resulting from the use of MBDyn or from any implementation bug of ... MBDyn or any part of it. As any software, MBDyn cannot be guaranteed to be totally bug-free. The user is also warned that there may be an appreciable difference between reality and the analytical models used in the implementation of the code, which are an idealization of reality. Moreover, there may exist large uncertainties in the input data, whose collection and preparation is under the responsibility of the user. As a consequence, the results of Computational Mechanics analyses should always be considered with care and interpreted by users with specific skills before relying on them when safety is concerned.
