The modeling and simulation of contact between flexible bodies is an important topic in multibody dynamics. The RecurDyn FFlex toolkit has powerful capabilities to define and simulate flexible bodies that have sliding or rolling contact with other bodies.

The example in this tutorial is a centrifugal clutch for a snowmobile, which relies on a compliant, or flexible, plate to operate. The benefits of using a compliant clutch plate, as opposed to having separate moving parts with springs, is that the part count is greatly reduced. This simplifies the manufacturing process and increases the reliability of the mechanism, as well.

Note that the model used in this tutorial is not based on any actual product or design concept, but borrows from suggested applications for compliant mechanisms published by the Brigham Young University Compliant Mechanisms Research Center.
