Toolkits for Every Dynamic Situation

Various toolkits support complex sub-systems, including: media transport products such as printers and copiers; track assemblies on products such as construction machinery, military vehicles and recreational vehicles; machinery components such as gears, belts, and chains. The toolkits allow the user to perform modeling for a specific industry field quickly and easily and then conduct an accurate analysis of complicated mechanical systems with specialized solvers.

Durability

RecurDyn/Durability is a toolkit for fatigue simulation that calculates fatigue strength and durability such as fatigue life, fatigue damage, and safety factor from the stress and strain results of a flexible body obtained through MFBD (Multi Flexible Body Dynamics) analysis. It provides the prediction theory for engineering fatigue and about 180 material libraries.

Controls

A diverse set of tools to analyze mechanism models coupled with the control system algorithm.

$${alt_text}$

Automation / Customization

A specialized environment for the automation of repeated tasks and creating custom UI.

$${alt_text}$

Optimization

A high performance optimization tool, AutoDesign, that requires very little knowledge of optimization to use because of its straightforward user interface.

$${alt_text}$

Gears

The RecurDyn/Gear toolkit is used to define and analyze systems of gears. It defines the gear geometry, the contact surfaces, and it provides a specialized solver code for the gear system.

Media Transport

RecurDyn's media transport toolkits are for analyzing transport systems for flexible media, such as paper, films, and cards. This toolkit automates the modeling and analysis of sheets as flexible bodies and dramatically simpliffes the creation of rollers and guides, making it the ultimate tool for the layout and design of media transport systems. In addition, the toolkits also include various sensors and tools to model air resistance, suction, and static electricity.

Time Signal Generator

The RecurDyn/TSG finds an actuator signal in a RecurDyn model that causes an output signal (like a position, velocity, or acceleration) in the RecurDyn model to match an existing target signal provided by the user. This enables RecurDyn to reproduce a behavior that was measured in an actual mechanical system.

EHD Bearing & Piston

RecurDyn/EHD calculates the thickness of the oil film and the corresponding pressure and force from the behavior information of the mechanical system. The effect of this pressure on the body is also taken into account in the simulation.

Spring

Easy and fast modeling of springs that have dynamic responses that are a function of the mass with the coils of the spring

It can be used to show dierent behavior depending on the position of the spring or to consider contacts between spring coils.

Tire

RecurDyn/Tire provides a library to simulate the tires used in vehicles. Various types of tire modules (UA, Fiala, FE-Tire, MF-Tyer, MF Swift) are supported, depending on the application.

$${alt_text}$

Machine

RecurDyn/MachineTool allows manufacturers of machine tools to utilize MBD more easily and efficiently. It was developed based on the demands of manufacturers in the field using the joint eorts of Function Bay, IWB (Technical University of Munich), and FRAMAG (machine tool manufacturer).

TrackLM / TrackHM

The RecurDyn/TrackLM toolkit includes various libraries (for example, Track Link, Wheel, and Sprocket) for the simplication of the modeling of the low-speed tracked vehicle systems used in construction and heavy equipment. while the TrackHM toolkit includes various libraries (for example, Track Link, Wheel, and Sprocket) for the simplification of the modeling of the high-speed tracked vehicle systems used in tanks and other military vehicles. Both toolkits provides a UI and analysis solver optimized for high-mobility tracked vehicle systems.
