Overview
SIMULIA Simpack is a complete software package dedicated to the development and simulation of high-fidelity multibody system virtual prototypes. It provides solutions that cover the needs of individual multibody experts up to large-scale company-wide deployments with hundreds of users.
What sets Simpack apart from other solutions is its reliance on a unique technology for setting up the equations of motion of a system. Therefore, the notable advantages of SIMPACK are the speed and robustness of its solver, surpassing its closest competitors, and its utilization of the latest mathematical techniques to deliver the highest degree of accuracy and reliability.
Thanks to its capability to model a wide range of mechanical systems, Simpack is a versatile tool that can be employed to solve engineering problems across various sectors of the mechanical industry. It is particularly well suited for modeling road and track vehicles (such as motorcycles, cars, trucks or trains), power systems (including internal combustion engines, electric engines and generators as well as drivetrain systems), and more.
Since 2005, SIMULIA/Simpack has also been offering the first industrial multibody solver capable of running any simulation model in a real-time environment, such as driving simulators or hardware-in-the-loop systems, without the need for code generation.
Simpack Automotive is used by many of the biggest automotive OEMs for all of their multibody simulation processes, especially in the field of suspension and chassis engineering. Simpack aids engineers in analyzing and designing any type of on- or off-road vehicle.
Simpack simulates anything from passenger jets, helicopters and satellites to autonomous planetary vehicles and comet probes–virtually any aerospace application area.
Simpack enables detailed modeling of biomechanical systems in areas such as sports medicine, orthopedics and human-machine interaction.
Adding to the functionality of Simpack in the automotive, wind turbine and rail sectors, Simpack Drivetrain is suited to the analysis and optimization of any mechanical power transmission system.
Within the automotive, land machinery, shipping and power generator sectors, Simpack Engine enables engineers to design, optimize and fully understand the coupled dynamics of complete combustion engine systems.
Simpack Realtime enables the use of complex models for a wide range of performance-critical real-time applications such as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) scenarios. Typical applications include handling and comfort simulations, ECU testing and component test rigs, for example, for gearboxes and engines.
Simpack helps to analyze and design any type of rail-based vehicle or mechanism – from roller coasters, material handling systems or tramcars to complete articulated high-speed trains. Manufacturers and operators worldwide use Simpack as the leading MBS software for railway system dynamics.
Built on technology that has proved its worth in many application areas, Simpack Wind offers users unparalleled insight into the dynamics of any complete wind turbine system.
Simpack is uniquely suited to the analysis and design of any type of mechanical or mechatronic system. In addition to its primary application areas, Simpack can be applied to practically any engineering field.
