About

MBD for Ansys

MBD for Ansys (Multi-Body Dynamics for Ansys) is an add-on module for Ansys that is used to simulate the transient behavior of a mechanical assembly in motion and is developed by FunctionBay, Inc.

Since Multi-Body Dynamics mainly utilizes rigid bodies, the calculation time is usually much shorter than the corresponding transient structural analysis using flexible bodies. Consequently, it is an efficient approach to understand the overall dynamic behavior and generate boundary conditions for structural analysis.

Ansys users can create Multi-Body Dynamics models and simulate them using MBD for Ansys.

* The key benefits of MBD for Ansys are:

* Intuitive UI to create Multi-Body Dynamics models

* Fast and Robust Solver (RecurDyn solver)

* 2D and 3D Contact algorithm

* Automated and Intelligent Load Transfer

* Multi-Body Dynamics analysis results can be used as the load conditions for a structural analysis model.
