simbody
High-performance C++ multibody dynamics/physics library for simulating articulated biomechanical and mechanical systems.
What is simbody?
Simbody is a high-performance C++ multibody dynamics and physics library for simulating articulated biomechanical and mechanical systems. It provides a toolkit for modeling motion of rigid bodies interconnected by joints, influenced by forces and motions, and restricted by constraints, with applications in robotics, vehicle dynamics, and human biomechanics. The library enables O(n) time complexity simulations using generalized/internal coordinates, making it suitable for science- and engineering-quality simulations.
Researchers, engineers, and developers working in robotics, biomechanics, vehicle dynamics, and mechanical simulation who need accurate, high-performance multibody dynamics capabilities for their applications. It's particularly valuable for those building domain-specific simulation tools like OpenSim for biomechanics or Gazebo for robotics.
Developers choose Simbody for its high-performance O(n) multibody dynamics algorithms, extensive feature set including contact modeling and optimization tools, and proven reliability in scientific and engineering applications. Its open-source nature and cross-platform support make it accessible for both academic research and industrial applications.
