A Finite Element-Multibody Dynamics Co-simulation Methodology Applied to FAST

A co-simulation methodology is explored whereby a finite element code and a multi-body dynamics code featuring flexible cantilevered beams can be coupled and interactively executed. The floating frame of reference formulation is used to develop the equations of motion. The floating frame is fixed at...
