Multi-body systems (MBS) analysis is a technique for evaluating the relationships between several associated and moving bodies.

MBS technique apply to prescribed kinematic linkages, where the rate characteristics and space envelopes need deriving, through to high speed dynamic systems including inertial effects and the interaction of flexible elements. Resulting load data can be extracted from the MBS model and directly applied to FEA models increasing confidence and accuracy of analysis predictions.

Information to identify the fundamental parameters controlling system performance - at a stage in the design programme where changes may be economically effected.
