Multibody system (MBS) dynamics studies the motion of mechanical systems composed of several rigid or flexible bodies interconnected by joints and submitted to internal or external forces and torques. Those forces can result from both passive elements such as springs, or active components such as electromechanical actuators.
In order to make use of all Robotran abilities, it is strongly recommended to read the following document :
The modeling and analysis of multibody systems can be fully achieved in the Matlab environment. It allows to prototype a model in a very short time by leveraging Matlab environments and toolboxes (easy programming and debug).
The Matlab modules for Robotran are called MBSysLab.
More details on the MBsysLab modules and data structure are available by following this link.
The modelling and analysis of multibody systems can be fully achieved in the C/C++ environment. It allows to run faster computations, coupling with other fields, integration with Simulink as well as simulation with real-time 3D visualization.
More details on the MBsysC modules and data structure are available by following this link.
The modeling and analysis of multibody systems can be achieved by interfacing
the C libraries of MBsysC with Python. It allows to prevent the user from struggling with compilation steps while keeping the efficiency computation of core function written in the C programming language.
