Multibody Systems Analysis (MBS)
Virtual Prototyping (MBS) may be summarised as:
• The Analysis and Simulation of Mechanical Systems
• Systems can consist of rigid and flexible bodies
• Bodies are assembled using rigid joints or flexible connections
• System elements such as springs and bushes can be nonlinear
• The mechanism can move through large displacement motion
• Automatic formation and solution of equations of motion
• Animated and plotted presentation of results
• Commercial Software available – ADAMS, SIMPACK, DADS, …

Main Types of Analysis
• KINEMATIC - Movement controlled by joint selection and motion inputs.Movements not effected by external forces or mass properties.Systems have zero rigid body Degrees of Freedom.
• STATIC - Determine static equilibrium position and reaction forces. Velocities and accelerations are set to zero. Often needed before dynamic analysis (ie. full vehicle models). Can be run QUASI-STATIC in time domain.
• DYNAMIC - Complete nonlinear transient multi-degree of freedom systems using numerical integration to solve the equations of motion. Users can select the integrator for solution and control the accuracy of the solution process.

Typical Design Study
16
Characteristic Curves of Automotive Suspension
• Toe, Caster, Camber curves are essential properties of a suspension
• Curves represent change in angular orientation of wheel under different loading conditions
• Curves must be continually evaluated as design changes
17
Simulation of Vertical Motion
18
Typical Problem Statement
• Packaging problems with current design• Tie-rod spindle connection point must be moved• Would like to move tie rod:
– 10 mm outboard– 14 mm aft– 15 mm up
19
A Past Approach
• Run two analyses: nominal and design change (considered)
• Compare the results
20
Typical Report (old approach)
21
Modern Methods
• Setup Design of Experiments Analysis (DOE)
– Define design space
– Define trial runs
22
Application of DOE
• Utilize parametric modeling tool
– Analyse set of trials picked by DOE theory
• Use DOE theory and the response surface method
– Fitted results give continuous information throughout design space
23
Start with Design Space
24
Add DOE Design Points
25
Assign Trial Numbers
26
Analyze Model at Each Trial
27
Calculate Objective at Each Trial
28
Map Trial Objectives back to Design Space
29
Create Response Surface
30
Response Surface Method
• Provides continuous knowledge within design space!• Can be extended (hard to visualize)
– More than 2 factors– More complex objective types
31
Contact Examples
32
Forced Contact Step Output
• Animate using defined output steps• Or animate additional contact frames• Displays contacts between output steps
