Invitation

With the continued increase in product complexity, Multibody Dynamics Simulation (MBDS) has become a key discipline thanks to its ability to virtually test complex system designs composed of many components and with various types of physical forces acting on them. Successful optimal design is not limited to meeting functional requirements, but also extends to meeting tighter regulations, faster time-to-market and budgetary expectations, and customer expectations for better products.

In order to meet those challenges, MBDS has been evolving in two opposite, but highly complementary directions. On one side, models with higher fidelity enable the representation of more and more complex behavior of physical systems. On the other side, the use of reduced order models, which are now capable of running real time analyses, has opened the door to new technologies like model in the loop, software in the loop, hardware in the loop, and so on, making early testing of systems possible by enabling the interaction of virtual components with real hardware.

We are pleased to announce the NAFEMS Multibody Dynamics Conference 2023 , the only international conference devoted to MBDS. The conference will provide an overview of state-of-the-art-methods for the simulation and design of complex systems, mainly within the context of industrial applications and CAE.

The conference brings together researchers, developers, teachers, and users of multibody dynamics simulation methods to present new results, exchange ideas and discuss the challenges. It is an excellent opportunity to connect with other practitioners in the field.

Participation is open to NAFEMS members and non-members. NAFEMS members can participate free of charge as part of their membership using seminar credits.

We look very much forward to welcoming you in Munich.
