Robots Dynamics & Performance Assessment

Robots have become an increasingly important part of modern manufacturing and industrial processes. To design and optimize robot systems, engineers often use a combination of multibody dynamics (MBD) and finite element simulation by using Coupled FEA and MBD software such as Ansys, Abaqus, Simpack and MSC Adams multibody simulation (MBS) software to simulate the transient dynamic behavior of the complete robot mechanism and control algorithm.

MBD simulation allows engineers to analyze the dynamics of a robot system by simulating the motion of multiple bodies in the system and the forces acting on them. This can include the movement of the robot arm, gripper, and other components, as well as external forces such as payloads and environmental loads. This allows for the evaluation of the robot's performance under various operating conditions, such as the speed and accuracy of movement, and can help optimize the design of the system for improved performance and efficiency.
