MBD for ANSYS (Multi-Body Dynamics for ANSYS)

MBD for ANSYS  Motion Analysis tool is an add-on module for ANSYS Workbench that is used to simulate the transient behavior of a mechanical assembly in motion and is developed by FunctionBay.

Multi-Body Dynamics software - MBD for ANSYS - motion analysis tool



Since Multi-Body Dynamics mainly utilizes rigid bodies, the calculation time is usually much shorter than the corresponding transient structural analysis using flexible bodies.

Consequently it is an efficient approach to understand the overall dynamic behavior and generate boundary conditions for structural analysis in ANSYS.


Multi-Body Dynamics for ANSYS is mainly used for the study of motion,

The calculation of loads (at joints, contacts and where forces are applied) that can be used for component-level structural analysis.


Study of motion in ANSYS using MBD for ANSYS - load calculation

The study of the dynamic behavior of assembly of rigid or flexible bodies, usually including large translational/rotational displacement (motion).
