mboct-mbdyn-pkg^©

mboct-mbdyn-pkg belongs to a suite of packages which can be used for pre- and postprocessing of MBDyn models (https://www.mbdyn.org) with GNU-Octave (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/). This package provides interfaces between the multibody dynamics software MBDyn and the GNU Octave programming language.

List of features

• Generate MBDyn input files for arbitrary curved beam structures represented by Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS).
• Generate MBDyn input files for modal elements based on Finite Element models.
• Generate MBDyn input files for solid elements based on Finite Element meshes.
• Run the multibody dynamics solver MBDyn.
• Load output files from MBDyn.
• Compute inertia properties of groups of several rigid and flexible bodies.
• Compute frequency response functions of linearized equations of motion.
• Scale elastic deformations of flexible bodies for post-processing.
• Perform post-processing of elastohydrodynamic bearing data from MBDyn.
• Perform post-processing of MBDyn models with modal elements.
• Perform post-processing of MBDyn models with solid elements.
