DYMES

DYMES is a general purpose program for kinematic and dynamic analyses of constrained, multibody mechanical systems that undergo large nonlinear, three-dimensional displacements.

A library of mechanical joints such as spherical, revolute, and translation joints and force elements such as nonlinear springs, dampers, and actuators permits convenient modeling of various mechanical systems. A library of control system modeling elements such as summer, amplifier, actuator and feedback enables controlled system simulations based on modern multiple-input and multiplt-output (MIMO) control system modeling capabilities.

Machine mechanisms, robotics, ground vehicles, spacecraft, and controlled systems are analyzed and simulated for time histories of their motion and joint reaction forces. The analysis capabilities include: Assembly analysis, redundancy analysis, static equilibrium analysis, quasi-static equilibrium analysis, dynamic analysis, kinematics analysis, inverse dynamic analysis. The advanced tire module in DYMES along with environmental modules makes automobile rides and handling simulation reliable and realistic.
