Ansys Multibody
Dynamics Theory (Available as Self-Paced Learning)

Course Overview

In this course, you will learn about the fundamentals of the Multibody Dynamics Theory such as various formulations and equations regarding Generalized Coordinates, Constraints, and Kinematic Analysis. You will also get familiarized with Equations of Motion for the Rigid Body, Modal Body, and Nodal Body. And finally, you will learn how to use Contact Mechanics and Numerical Integration Methods for Multibody Dynamics.

Prerequisites

This course is an introductory course to Multibody Dynamics Theory. While no previous knowledge of Multibody Dynamics is required, fundamental knowledge of the finite element method is required.
