Standard Input Data of Flexible Members in Multibody Systems

Abstract

SummaryTo facilitate the usage of various finite element or continuum models for the simulation of flexible members in various multibody system codes, a set of standard input data (SID) is defined. The SID are adapted to the modal representation; therefore corresponding body integrals can be pre-calculated in specific pre-processors and stored in the SID file before the time simulation. The SID structure is organized using an object oriented class description.
