Mobile Multibody Dynamics 2.0.1

Mobile Multibody Dynamics (MOMDYN) stands out as the first multibody dynamics application designed specifically for iOS. Catering to mechanical engineers and physicists familiar with classical mechanics, MOMDYN features a user-friendly graphical interface complemented by a robust set of capabilities akin to contemporary modeling and simulation software. This application effectively bridges the gap between traditional "first-principles" dynamics problem-solving—where users manually define kinematic and dynamic equations—and modern approaches that rely on a graphical, CAD-like interface to obscure the underlying mathematical frameworks.

This app serves as an invaluable educational tool for students pursuing coursework in dynamics, vibration, or structural analysis within mechanical or aerospace engineering programs. Users have full visibility of the modeling processes and equations, with the added capability to export custom Python code for desktop simulations. MOMDYN represents a pivotal entry point into the realm of multibody dynamics simulation, thereby facilitating an easier transition to utilizing advanced scientific computing software.

Engineering and Physics Simulation in the Palm of Your Hand

Creative inspiration often strikes at unexpected moments—whether one is in bed, commuting on public transport, or attending a monotonous meeting far from a workstation. Typical user experiences reveal that mobile devices are almost always within arm's reach. MOMDYN empowers users to harness their ideas spontaneously, enabling them to visualize and simulate their concepts directly from their mobile devices.

An Entry Point For Dynamics Students and Professionals

As multibody dynamics simulation has become increasingly crucial in the development of intricate mechanical systems, a myriad of sophisticated software solutions has emerged, many integrated into comprehensive multidisciplinary computer-aided engineering packages. While these expansive tools can be both enjoyable and beneficial for professionals, they often come with significant costs that may pose barriers to entry for some. MOMDYN offers an approachable alternative, allowing engineering students and emerging professionals to grasp foundational principles that can cultivate confidence in utilizing advanced tools in their future careers.

Build On Your Mobile Device, Analyze On A Desktop

While mobile devices excel in various functions, they typically lack the capacity of high-performance computers. MOMDYN is adept at handling singular model runs; however, users requiring extensive computational power—such as executing 100,000 cases during a Monte Carlo study—will benefit from dedicated workstations or computing clusters. With its Export feature, MOMDYN enables users to automatically generate Python source code reflecting the equations and parameters defined on their mobile devices, which can then be executed in a Python environment utilizing widely available packages. This capability allows for sophisticated analyses such as phase plots or frequency spectra, enabling integration of mechanism models with other physical or control systems provided users have the requisite coding skills.
