Exudyn is a flexible multibody dynamics systems simulation code with Python and C++: a C++ computational core exposed to Python, built for efficient simulation of rigid and flexible multibody systems, and for automated model setup and parameter variation from Python.

New here? Read Getting started, then the Tutorial. What changed between releases is in Revisions, every resolved issue in the changelog, and the issues themselves in the issue tracker.

Searching on Read the Docs: add * or ~1 / ~2 to a term to search more generally, for example FEMinter* for FEMinterface, or objectffrf~3 to find ObjectFFRF. The search preview finds fewer results than the search itself.

Exudyn User Manual

Reference Manual

Five further notes are written for whoever maintains Exudyn rather than for whoever uses it — the Windows build quirks, what MSVC accepts where GCC does not, the Visual Studio 2022 components, converting the demo videos with ffmpeg and the matplotlib recipes of the examples. They are in the repository, in docs/howTo/, and are listed in the developer documentation.
