SIMPACK as a Tool for Automotive Engineering

SIMPACK a leading multibody-system (MBS) analysis software for general mechanical systems has envolved into a multidisciplinary simulation package for the analysis and integrated design of mechatronic systems. Being generally recoginized for its very efficient solvers and advanced bidirectional interfaces to other CAE tools, SIMPACK has recently introduced the Automotive+ module to provide a toolbox for the special needs of advanced automotive engineers. This paper gives a brief overview of SIMPACK with a special focus on its features for the automotive industry.
