SIMPACK Academy

The SIMPACK Academy was founded in order to refresh and enhance theoretical understanding in multi-body simulation.

A profound understanding of the theoretical background is often necessary to resolve problems arising within the field of simulation engineering.
This required theory will be covered by a series of courses at the SIMPACK Academy. The series of lectures touches on different aspects of multi-body simulation and will convene approximately 4 times a year.

SIMPACK Academy MBS Numerics

This 2,5-day event (14-16 September 2010) shows how simulation results do not only depend on modelling, but can also be influenced significantly by solver types and parameters. In the worst case, the computation can even fail because of numerical instability. „Multi-Body Systems Numerics" aims to enable the calculation engineer to understand the capabilities and limits of numerical methods in multibody dynamics. Elaborate presentation of the theoretical background is combined with software issues as well as practical examples and tips.
