Multibody Dynamic (MBD) analysis is a means of analyzing the dynamic behavior of a system of interconnected bodies. The Ansys Mechanical™ application provides MBD capabilities and uses an implicit integration method that yields stable and accurate solutions. Models can include springs, dampers, and bushings, as well as contacts between components.
In an Ansys Motion™ analysis, systems can contain both rigid and flexible components. In the following figure, a flexible plate is mounted to a rigid base. The base of the plate is connected to a slotted component using a Joint object. A Slot Joint Load drives the base up and down, producing changes in the shape of the flexible plate.
