This course aims at providing an organic view of the most advanced methods and tools for modeling and simulation of mechanical systems, illustrating the theoretical and practical aspects necessary for a conscious use of multibody software and guiding the student while modeling complexmechanical systems.
Course topics: Mathematical models of mechanical systems. Building models from sub-elementary patterns elementary classical references. Formulation of the equations of motion with symbolic mathematics software. Multibody systems: theorical and numerical aspects of multibody simulations. Analysis of complex mechanical systems with multibody software. Development of a project with LMS multibody VirtualMotion.
