Multibody System Simulation Software
SIMULIA Simpack is a complete software package dedicated to the development and simulation of high-fidelity multibody system virtual prototypes. It provides solutions that cover the needs of individual multibody experts up to large-scale company-wide deployments with hundreds of users.
What sets Simpack apart from other solutions is its reliance on a unique technology for setting up the equations of motion of a system. Therefore, the notable advantages of SIMPACK are the speed and robustness of its solver, which surpasses its closest competitors. Its utilization of the latest mathematical techniques also delivers the highest degree of accuracy and reliability.
Thanks to its capability to model a wide range of mechanical systems, Simpack is a versatile tool that can be employed to solve engineering problems across various sectors of the mechanical industry. It is particularly well suited for modeling road and track vehicles, such as motorcycles, cars, trucks or trains. It can also be used for power systems, including internal combustion engines, electric engines, generators, drivetrain systems, and more.
Since 2005, SIMULIA Simpack has also been offering the first industrial multibody solver capable of running any simulation model in a real-time environment. It is capable of driving simulators or hardware-in-the-loop systems without the need for code generation.
Simpack Automotive is used by many of the biggest automotive OEMs for all of their multibody simulation processes, especially in the field of suspension and chassis engineering. Simpack aids engineers in analyzing and designing any type of on- or off-road vehicle.
