See It In Action
A quick preview of what we'll work with live on Oct 28.
Modeling Elastic Ropes and Cables
See how SimulationX captures stretch, tension and slack in ropes, cables and wires, shown on a crane model.
Forward vs. Inverse Kinematics
Drive a mechanism by its joints, or by where you want the end point to go.
CAD Import
From CAD geometry to a simulation-ready mechanical model.

Presenter
Christoph Schramm
Christoph Schramm is a Systems Design Engineer at XPI Germany GmbH, part of Xcelerated Prototyping Inc., an authorized distributor of SimulationX. Based in Saxony, Germany, and a TU Dresden alum, he works with engineering teams on modeling and simulating complex mechanical and multi-body systems. In this session he'll demonstrate advanced MBS modeling live in SimulationX, from CAD import and contact modeling to flexible bodies and FMU export.
Who Should Attend
Mechanical, systems and simulation engineers working on machinery, vehicles or mechatronic systems who want to see what SimulationX can do beyond single-domain models.
