Activate facilitates the modeling of multibody dynamic
systems (MBD) through equations and Modelica blocks. Activate features co-simulation with Altair MotionSolve software.
Multibody Simulation with Modelica
The Modelica Standard Library includes a dedicated palette of multibody blocks.

joint attached on a free flying body
Multibody Co-Simulation
MotionSolve enables the combined simulation of subsystems of mechanical
plants with those of electrical/electronic subsystems, such as controllers.
The co-simulation process enables communication and data exchange between
Activate and MotionSolve MBD models.
