Course Outline:

This is an introductory course for solving MBD problems using HyperWorks and illustrates constructing, solving and post-processing multi-body dynamic (MBD) problems.  This course focuses on general multi-body mechanisms and is a starting point for learning vehicle modeling in MotionSolve.

Prerequisites:

None

Goals and Objectives:

• Utilize Pre-Processing, Post-Processing, and Solvers with interactive model building
• CAD Import and Contact Simulation
• Compare methods of optimization for multi-body models
• Introduce flexbodies to rigid body models
