  1. The New Modelica MultiBody Library Martin Otter Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR)Institut für Robotik und Mechatronik (www.robotic.dlr.de)DLR Oberpfaffenhofen, July 18, 2003 Abstract: The MultiBody library is a beta-release. It will be finally released and will be included in the Modelica Standard Library in Mid of September 2003. This library will replace the long used ModelicaAdditions.MultiBody, since it is much more convenient to used and more powerful. On the following slides an overview of the most important features is given. Martin Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003

  2. 1. Default AnimationAll components have built-in animation properties allowing an easy visual check of the model. Animation of every component can be switched off via a parameter or globally. Example: M. Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003

  3. Since this system has no joints,Dymola automatically selects body coordinates as states. 2. Automatic state selection from joints and bodies Both joints and bodies have potential states. Dymola tries to use the generalized coordinates of joints as states. If this is not possible, states are selected from body coordinates. An advanced user may select states manually from a menu. M. Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003

  4. Example: Four-bar mechanism with 6 revolute and 1 prismatic joints 3. Automatic handling of kinematic loops Kinematic loops are handled automatically, i.e., the user does not have to think about cut-joints or has to select states in a loop (an advanced user may select the state variables; based on new theory to handle a certain class of overdetermined DAEs) M. Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003

  5. Loops can be hierarchically composed together. Example: V6 engine M. Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003

  6. Four-bar mechanism with 1 revolute and 1 JointUSP JointRRR 4. Analytic solution of non-linear equations in kinematic loops Non-linear equations occurring in kinematic loops are solved analytically for a large class of mechanisms, such as 4 bar, slider-crank, MacPherson. Based on theory of Woernle/Hiller, using joint aggregations of 3 joints that have together 6 degrees of freedom, i.e., no constraints, e.g., Universal – Spherical – Prismatic M. Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003

  7. force elements may have mass(small loops are solved analytically) series connection of force elements, 5. Force elements may have mass and can be connected arbitrarily M. Otter: The New MultiBody Library, July 18, 2003
