Multibody Simulation for Dynamic Systems

Model Development – Analysis – Evaluation – Optimisation

UNIKE helps companies use multibody simulation to analyse motion, forces, loads and dynamic interactions in technical systems. This makes it possible to identify development risks early, compare design alternatives and use prototypes more effectively. Multibody simulation is particularly valuable where joints, bearings, contacts, drives and control systems interact. We consider not only individual components, but also the behaviour of the complete system under realistic boundary conditions.

What Results Does Multibody Simulation Provide?

Typical results include motion histories, forces, reaction loads, contact conditions, critical load cases and insights into the dynamic behaviour of the system.
