MBDyn 1.4.0
DoubleRigidPendulum
MBDyn is free general-purpose multibody dynamics analysis software that has been developed at Politecnico di Milano. MBDyn enables us to simulate complex mechanical systems such as car suspensions, robots, and wind turbines and study their motions and forces. This tutorial explains how to use MBDyn through simple examples.
