DynaFlexPro is a Maple package for modeling and simulating the dynamics of mechanical multibody systems. A graphical user interface, DynaFlexPro ModelBuilder, facilitates the rapid creation of system models using block diagrams and drop-down menus. DynaFlexPro combines graph theory with engineering mechanics in algorithms that automatically generate the system equations from the system model. Maple?s powerful computer algebra technologies are used to create small and efficient sets of system equations in symbolic form, which facilitates viewing, physical insight, and sharing. Not only does this facilitate the design, optimization, simulation and control of complex engineering systems, this symbolic approach is well-suited to teaching of mechanical system design.
DynaFlexPro will be of interest to the following users:
? Engineers with a dynamic mechanical system to design or analyze
? Instructors of courses in dynamics and design
