Tutorial

The tutorials start with a mass point on a spring-damper, the shortest possible model, continue with 3D rigid bodies and revolute joints, and show flexible beams, symbolic user functions and a flexible body of the floating frame of reference formulation.

A large number of examples, some of them quite advanced, can be found in:

• python/Examples

• python/TestModels

The tutorials are notebooks, in python/Notebooks/: the pages show their code and the outputs of their last run, and the same code is an example in python/Examples/notebooks/. The mass-spring-damper and the rigid body tutorials come twice: built from the items, and with the Create functions.

• Mass-spring-damper
• Mass-spring-damper with Create functions
• Rigid bodies and joints
• Rigid bodies and joints with Create functions
• Flexible beams
• Symbolic user functions
• Flexible body with the floating frame of reference formulation
