Rigid Body Simulation Softaware
Rigid Body Simulation Softaware
(OP)
Hi,
Does anyone know of any software for simulating rigid body movement?? I'm looking for a software to model rigid bodies as bars with specified inertia properties and relative constraints. I wouldn't like to draw the assembly like for example when using SolidWorks.
I used Matlab SimMechanics for modelling a double A-arm suspension; but I wasn´t too convinced with some results compared with what I obtained with MSC Adams.
thanks,
Diego.

also MADYMO (maybe), MotionView (good luck), and that open source one from Germany (sorry, brain fade)

Cosmos is a good option for simulating the final design so as to check for part's interference; but I'm looking for a more mathematical way of building a mechanism without having to draw it.
I don't know if MotionView will let me do that.
Thanks,
Diego.
