This wiki aims to serve as a central resource for all things related to the flexible multibody dynamics software SPACAR.
SPACAR Light can be used for the analysis of rigid and flexible structures in terms of
It is suited for 3-D structures that consist of 'beam-like' parts. These are parts that are relatively long (slender) and with a rectangular or circular cross-section.
This tool runs entirely in MATLAB as a script. It has no graphical user interface. All input is done via simple MATLAB commands. This makes it easy to parameterize models.
SPACAR Light offers some important benefits over other analysis software:
