Abstract

The current paper gives a short overview of the multiphysics simulation tool MBSim, developed at the Institute of Applied Mechanics - TU München, and its application on a non-smooth continuous system. Starting at the mathematical equations describing the dynamical behavior of a non-smooth multibody system with uni- and bilateral frictional constraints, the used time-stepping integration method is shortly outlined. The application of MBSim is demonstrated by the simulation of a continuous coil spring with non-smooth contact mechanics. To show the quality of the simulation model, a short validation of the coil spring with experimental data is shown.
