MBDyn Examples

Tutorials:

• rigidbody.
• rigidpendulum.
• cantilever1.
• cantilever1piezo.
• cantilever2 (also needs beam.nod and beam.elm).
• actuator.
• speedcontrol.
• rigidhelicopter.
• rigidhelicopter2: same as rigidhelicopter, but with swashplate.

Misc:

• privdataoutput: example of private data output.
• rotationalspring.
• chain: falling rigid 4 links chain.
• planemech: simple plane mechanism.
• pendulum: simple pendulum.
• wire: eigenanalysis of a wire with pretension.
• springmass.tar.gz: example of tightly coupled cosimulation directly in python and wrapped through Matlab using pymex.

Applications:

• AS330 Puma.
• modalbody: example modal element (also needs hand-made-dynamic.fem and hand-made-static.fem).
• HA145B unsteady aerodynamics modal element.
• HALEcantilever/: cantilevered HALE wing model.

• cart0: aeroelastic model of NREL's CART wind-turbine (updated April 10, 2010).
• NREL 5MW: NREL's 5MW class wind turbine. Contributed by Pay Thorben Sacknieß (more details here).
• triangle: control constraint of a simple manipulator, based on the movie presented by Prof. Betsch at the 1st ESA Workshop on Multibody Dynamics for Space Applications, February 2-3, 2010, ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands. See a movie of MBDyn's analysis animated with EasyAnim.
• curved beam: eigenanalysis of a curved beam; uses arpack. Courtesy of Resch Reinhard.
