Freeware version
The actual freeware version
of the HOTINT flexible multibody simulation software includes:
- Full Microsoft Windows
interface
- No compilation
necessary, easy to use
- Text files that can be
user-generated
- Rigid 3D body, Mass
- Flexible ANCF beam
element
- Standard 3D joints
- Actuators, springs,
dampers, controllers, prescribed
motion, etc.
- Sensors to measure
displacement, rotation, ...
- Dynamic solver (see time integration on right)
- Solver for static
problems (initial values, static
equilibrium)
Windows
interface is under
development for:
- User defined elements
- General contact
- Moving mass / variable
mass
- Sparse matrices
The software can be used for any scientific or commercial application
(except military) at own risk. The developer of HOTINT does not assume
any liability for the program package HOTINT, the results obtained with
its use or any other damage due to HOTINT. |
Full research version
The actual research version of
HotInt/MBS is capable of (available throught the source code):
- Rigid 2D / 3D bodies,
mass points
- Flexible 2D / 3D
bodies: beam and plate elements (absolute
nodal
coordinate formulation), standard finite elements
- Standard joints 2D/3D;
2D/3D general contact, friction,
sliding
- Actuators, springs,
dampers, hydraulics, controllers
- User defined elements
- Elasto-plasticity
- Moving mass / variable
mass
- Fluid structure
interaction
- Solve large scale
multibody systems with use of sparse
matrix
methods
- Tested for sytems with
several 1000s of bodies and 10000s
of degrees of freedom
- Optimized and
automated computation of Jacobians
- Solver for static
problems (initial values, static
equilibrium)

High order time
integration
software:
- High Order Implicit
Runge Kutta Time Integrator
- Time integration for
flexible and rigid multibody systems
- Especially for
implicit Gauss, Lobatto and Radau methods
- Variable step size,
arbitrary order and method (defined in
text
file)
- 3D graphical tool
(OPEN-GL) included (developed by Yury
Vetyukov)
- Source code for Time
integration developed in Visual
Studio.NET
is available if you use it for scientific research only, if you sign a
scientific agreement which I can send you upon request and if you send
me the published papers where you used HOTINT.
- HOTINT V1.0 (research
version) - description (Time
integration for flexible multibody systems)
