SIMPACK is a multi-body simulation software (MBS). SIMPACK Kinematics & Dynamics is the base module of the SIMPACK software, made up of the pre-processor, post-processor and, most importantly, SIMPACK’s renowned solvers. All other modules and interfaces can be added on to SIMPACK’s Kinematics & Dynamics. All SIMPACK products are 100% compatible.

The basic concept of SIMPACK is to first create a CAD style MBS model for a mechanical or mechatronic system. The static and dynamic behaviour of the system can then be automatically solved by SIMPACK. With the SIMPACK post-processor the system’s motion and forces (external and internal) can be animated and plotted.

SIMPACK 9.2 is a further major milestone in the development of SIMPACK. It is a major release delivering more than 100 new features and 200 improvements.

The most prominent changes of SIMPACK 9.2 include:

- SIMPACK Loads for performing stress calculations
- FMI 1.0 for co-simulation support
- Interface to BEARINX for simulating rolling bearings
- SIMPACK Solver speed-up for both standard and parallel solver
- SIMPACK Solver Scripting debugger and GUI support
