SIMPACK
MultiBody System Simulation Software
Base Modules and Wizard
Simpack Pre enables users to build any kind of MBS model from scratch. Using the large variety of included modeling elements (e.g. rigid and flexible bodies, joints, forces, excitations and sensors), basic models can be generated for investigating general dynamic phenomena up to highly detailed models predicting durability and NVH behavior up to the acoustics range . The pre-processor is a basis and prerequisite for Simpack industry and application specific add-on products. Those add-on products are required to enable according capabilities or features.
Benefits:
- Enables users to build models from the ground up
- Large variety of included modeling elements
- No limitation regarding level of model detail
Key Capabilities:
- State of the art, icon driven and easy-to-use User interface
- 2D/3D and element tree view based interactive model representation
- Usage of CAD data
- Sophisticated flex body integration
- Interfaces (e.g. FMU) to industry standard CAE applications
- DOE capabilities to set up and represent parameter variation results
- Scripting functionality in order to automate all modelling and solver processes
Features:
- Huge application specific MBS element library incl. control elements, excitations and sensors
- Substructure based model setup option
- Full model parameterization via substitution variables and
element parameter in place formulas - Native integrated 3D Beam based flex. bodies
- General flex. body integration based on general FE models
Core Simpack functionality to solve Simpack MBS models created in Simpack Pre or Simpack Wizard. There are static as well as dynamic time domain and frequency domain solver options. Apart from the general solver stability, accuracy and performance the Simpack Real Time capability is a unique technology feature. The Simpack solver options are available via Simpack Solve Tokens which provides easy and scalable access to according Simpack solver capabilities
Key Capabilities:
- Solver options for static and dynamic analysis in time and frequency domain
- Robust, fast and accurate
- Unique real time solver capability to handle offline models in real time
Features:
- Solver fully embedded in Simpack scripting environmentUse offline models for real time applications
- Automated kinematic tree generation for optimal model generation and performance
- Combine high accuracy and high frequency content with optimal performance.
Simpack Post is required for the representation and post processing of Simpack MBS simulation results. 2D plots, 3D plots, and 3D animations can be easily generated and saved as templates. An extensive library of Filters enables easy data processing. User defined templates allow quick report generation and comparison of results.
Key Capabilities:
- State of the art and easy-to-use User interface
- Various types of 2D/3D plots and tables
- 3D animations incl. flex. body scaling and contouring
- DOE result representations
- Scripting functionality in order to automate all post processing steps
Features:
- Native Simpack MBS result and external data handling
- Save and reuse of result representation configurations/templates
- Export/Import
- Filters
- Multi-model management/comparison
Simpack Wizard enables easy setup of standardized models and analysis processes for "deployment mode" of Simpack. Non-expert Simpack users can carry out company-specific standard analyses and review the results without MBS expert knowledge. Simpack Wizard is based on standard Simpack model databases which can be created and adapted using Simpack Pre.
Key Capabilities:
- Provides easy, fast and reliable standard processes in order to:
- setup standard models
- select standard loadcases
- configure according scenarios (= model + loadcase)
- automate multi scenario job calculation
- represent standard results
- Scalable deployment to a group/department/company
- Fully compatible with Simpack Pre
Features:
- Configure and parameterize standardized MODELS
- Configure and parameterize standardized LOADCASES
- Create and run SCENARIOS (= MODEL + LOADCASE)
- Review according standard RESULTS
