Rigid body static & dynamic load analysis software.

[tomaspin]

Although I normally occupy myself with the design of rubber/metal bonded springs and isolators, I now find that I am having to take in increasingly complex installation problems. Typical applications include engine and cab installations on off higway vehicles, and large industrial machines.

I am therefore looking for some suitable software for rigid body static/dynamic analysis.

I have previously used a package called 'Vibratio' sold by Signal Research in the UK, but this way outside my budget at £5000 for a single licence.

Any help or suggestions concerning suitable software would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

ADAMS, from MDI, is a good choice. Unfortunately, I expect that it will have a similar price.
