Better Engineering Through
Multibody Dynamic Simulation

March 2018 | Issue #5

RecurDyn V9R1 adds new and powerful performance improvements to Multi-body Dynamics (MBD) and Multi Flexible Body Dynamics (MFBD) to maximize the design performance for RecurDyn users.

Click here to learn moreabout MBD related features and improvements such as:

1. Improved Rigid body geometry modeling
2. Added OnOff Joint feature
3. Improved contact related options, convenience and the new 2D Contact feature

Click here to learn more about how the mesher engine and modeling feature for flexible bodies have been upgraded and improved for more accurate MFBD analysis. Included are:

1. Sweep Mesh, Geometry Refinement, Mesh Options for Mesher enhancements.
2. Split, Modification & Mirror for FFlex enhancements

In the News:

Brant Ross of MotionPort visits with the FunctionBay staff in South Korea

Each spring FunctionBay hosts a meeting with the sales and support offices from around the world who work with RecurDyn.

This year the meeting was moved up a few weeks so that the group could attend a few events of the 2018 Winter Olympics in between the regular meetings.

The group had the opportunity to review and discuss the work that is being done to provide exciting new features for RecurDyn V9R2 (which will be released this fall).

Most of the group traveled from Seoul to the Olympic Village to become spectators at the events.

The Olympic events that were attended included Freestyle Skiing (halfpipe) finals (USA finished #1 and #2), and the 1000m Speed Skating finals.

Upcoming Conference: CAASE18

Join Brant Ross of MotionPort at the CAASE 2018 conference in Cleveland, Ohio on June 5-7, 2018. He will be presenting:

“On the Correct Preloading of Nonlinear Flexible Bodies to Achieve Accurate Multibody Simulation Results.”
