help SIMPACK FAQ

What is SIMPACK software used for?

SIMPACK is a general-purpose multibody simulation software primarily used in the automotive industry to analyze complex vehicle dynamics. It allows engineers to simulate how mechanical components interact under physical forces to optimize ride quality and durability.

Who developed the SIMPACK software?

The software was originally developed in 1993 by INTEC GmbH, a German engineering company based in Munich. It is now owned and distributed globally by Dassault Systèmes.

Can SIMPACK simulate railway vehicles and wind turbines?

Yes, while famous for automotive applications, SIMPACK is heavily used to simulate railway vehicle dynamics, including wheel-rail contact. It is also utilized in the aerospace and renewable energy sectors to analyze the mechanical stresses on wind turbines.

How does SIMPACK integrate with Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?

SIMPACK can easily co-simulate with major Finite Element Analysis tools like Abaqus and ANSYS. This integration allows engineers to see how flexible components, like a bending chassis or a rotating driveshaft, will behave dynamically under stress.
