..."RecurDyn’s computational speed and process automation for track systems allowed us to develop accurate simulations of our compact track loaders that would have not otherwise been practical. Although we are continuing to gather data, we are confident that we are reducing our engineering costs by at least two dollars for every dollar that we invest in simulation."...

"...As a further validation of the dynamic computer model, RecurDyn software, from Function Bay, Inc., was used to perform the same simulation (as ADAMS)...The new solver (RecurDyn) ran in about one third of the time (as ADAMS) for nearly identical results."

Robotics
A new robot concept with two sets of tracks seems to hold a lot of promise for urban reconnaissance. A military research group was asked to simulate the mobility of the robot in climbing a set of stairs. They could not do the simulation, although they were experienced with tracked vehicle simulation with a leading simulation software...

An automotive supplier needed to simulate the meshing of two gears. It is a challenging contact modeling problem because of the detailed geometry of the gear teeth. The supplier want to consider two values of the fillet radius for the gear teeth, two backlash spacing values, two magnitudes for the actuator force, and two sets of initial velocities...

A company developed a complex yet compact latch mechanism that guided a hook through a carefully prescribed path. This subassembly was part of a much larger product. Physical testing of the latch mechanism was done a few months before product launch. The physical testing showed that the latch assembly failed early because of a breaking actuator rod...

Other Success Stories
A Function Bay representative spent a day with two of their engineers who had never used RecurDyn before. They were surprised that they could build a complete crawler (bulldozer) model and simulate it that same day. They told us that simulation with RecurDyn is much faster than with the well-known simulation software that they were previously using...
