Understanding dynamic behavior through multi body modeling -
Transient phenomena are characterized by the complex interaction of many components in a very brief time
span, typically found in precision machinery and other equipment where rotating or reciprocating parts run at
extremely high speeds. Because events occur so quickly and may have extremely short durations, purely testbased experimental methods may prove inadequate.
LMS deploys multi body simulation technology for studying complex kinematics and dynamics phenomena in slow motion with much greater detail and accuracy than is otherwise possible. Multi body simulation allows engineers to understand how individual components as well as the overall structure may bend, twist and deform during operation, especially at resonant frequencies when the largest deflections occur.
Without making costly modifications to the physical structure, multi body models allow users to perform sensitivity studies in determining the impact of different variables on dynamic behavior. Engineers may also use the model to evaluate design modifications or tune the characteristics of hydraulic systems and the control logic in mechatronic systems.
