User Meeting 2011
Date: 18 th and 19 th May 2011
Location: Salzburg Congress, Salzburg, Austria
Day 1: Debut of siMpack 9 and
siMpack User presentations
Morning session: introduction of siMpack 9
The next generation of SIMPACK will be presented.
SIMPACK 9 introduces a completely new graphical
user interface and a host of other major developments.
The advanced parallel solver technology, a completely
new FE interface, an object oriented scripting engine,
easy unit handling, and the SIMPACK Wizard, which
enables easy setup of standardized models and analysis
processes, will all be shown.
afternoon session: siMpack User presentations
This offers a great opportunity to hear about other
users’ experiences with SIMPACK and is an excellent
source of information for modeling solutions, new ideas
and potential SIMPACK applications.
Day 2: siMpack User presentations
This day offers a further good possibility, in addition to
the afternoon session of Day 1, to learn about other
SIMPACK users’ experiences. Three parallel sessions will
be held: “Automotive and Engine”, “Rail” and “Wind
and General”.

Compact and reduced representations of finite element models are essential for analyzing the deformation dynamics and stress of
multi-body systems. A good theoretical foundation is important for the efficient application of flexible bodies.
This course covers the main topics which users should consider: These topics will be accompanied by detailed practical examples:
• Reduction of linear finite element models for MBS
• Mode calculation
applications
• Selection of boundary conditions
• Monitoring of reduced finite element models
• Mode selection
(comparison with the non-reduced FEM model)
• Durability calculation
• Integration of reduced finite element models into
FEM-MBS multi-body systems Interfacing
• Requirements for stress and strength calculations
based on reduced finite element models

About SIMPACK
SIMPACK is a general purpose Multi-Body Simulation
(MBS) software which is used for the dynamic
analysis of any mechanical or mechatronic system.
This simulation tool enables engineers to generate
and solve virtual 3D models in order to predict and
visualize motion, coupling forces and stresses.
SIMPACK — used primarily within the automotive,
engine, HiL/SiL, power transmission, railway, and
wind energy industrial sectors — can be applied
to any branch of mechanical engineering where the
simulation and analysis of mechanisms is crucial.
SIMPACK simulation software is particularly well
suited to high frequency transient analyses, even
up into the acoustic range. SIMPACK was primarily
developed to efficiently handle complex non-linear
models with flexible bodies and harsh shock contact.
This fast, accurate, robust and versatile software
helps our users optimize designs, minimize system
vibrations, reduce the need for prototyping and
shorten time-to-market.
SIMPACK is developed by the SIMPACK group, with
headquarters near Munich, Germany. The SIMPACK
group also offers consulting and engineering services
in addtion to training and education courses.

local distributors visit: www.SIMPACK.com
