FlexibleBodies Library

The commercial DLR FlexibleBodies Library enables the object-oriented and mathematically efficient modelling of flexible bodies as components of multibody and of arbitrary physical systems. It provides Modelica model classes to model beams, annular plates, anti-roll bars  and general flexible bodies exported from finite element programs. The motion of a flexible structure is defined by superposition of a in general large, non-linear motion of a reference frame with small elastic deformations. The library is commercially available at LTX and Dassault Systems.
