Multibody Dynamics

Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) is the prediction of the motion of groups of interconnected bodies that have forces acting on them. The result of a multi-body dynamics simulation is the motion of the bodies and the various interaction forces acting on and between the bodies. Multi-body dynamics simulation software predicts the motion and the interaction forces by automatically formulating differential equations to describe the motion of a system of bodies and then solving them numerically.
