Asked 22nd Nov, 2018

How is Motion Genesis as a tool for Dynamic Simulations and obtaining equations of motion in terms of ease of use? What other tools are recommended ?

I am trying to come up with a mathematical model of a multi-body system with some physical constraints. Doing so using Lagrange or Kane is pretty complicated. I read about Motion Genesis, is it easy to use? Is it useful for such an application?
What other programs or tool are recommended to do the same thing?

Hi Sima,
I recommend MSC.Adams. This software is dedicated to conduct multibody analysis. Moreover, you can find many tutorials which demonstrate how to solve various kind of mechanical problems.
Additionaly, you can use Ansys Rigid Dynamic and special module implemented e.g in SolidWorks (motion study), but in my opinion MSC.Adams is more apropriate to solve this type of tasks.

One of the significant obstacles in achieving a reliable seed germination and even plant field emergence in no-till seeding is a variation in the desired seeding depth. This is caused by the inappropriate response of the seeder motion dynamics to harsh soil conditions and to high operating speed. In order to assess the dynamic response of a no-till...
