MADYMO Solver

The MADYMO Solver is a flexible multi-physics simulation engine that uniquely combines the capabilities of multibody (MB), finite element (FE) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in a single CAE solver. This makes the MADYMO Solver a highly efficient tool for design and analysis of complex dynamic systems.

Three solvers smoothly combined in one

Multibody - need for speed Multibody systems can be described as rigid or deformable bodies, interconnected by kinematic joints. Geometrical, material and contact properties can be assigned to the bodies to capture the physics of the system modelled. This computationally fast method of modelling complex dynamic systems is particularly well suited for performing large parametric design studies. Finite Element - desire for detail MADYMO’s explicit transient finite element (FE) solver includes an extensive selection of element definitions, material models, and contact algorithms. MADYMO FE allows for detailed modelling of deformable structures inside the occupant compartment, such as seatbelt, airbag, seat and trim. CFD - go with the flow Engineers use MADYMO’s CFD module to carry out detailed modeling of the flow of fluids, such as gas flowing inside a deploying airbag. MADYMO Gasflow is used to simulate Out-of-Position events where injuries can result from contact between the occupant and a deploying airbag.

Models and utilities included

The MADYMO installation package includes an extensive and well-validated suite of dummy and impactor models and human body models. The MADYMO installation package also includes a set of solver and model related utilities. These utilities include MADYMO Folder, Tank Test Analysis (MTA) and Cold Gas Inflator (CGI) to support the modelling of airbags. For dummy and human model scaling, MADYMO Scaler and Body Generator (GEBOD) are supplied. For model/design optimisation MADYMO Optimizer is included. Also sample applications and extensive documentation on solver, models and utilities are part of the package. MADYMO software is supplied to customers per user-protected download.

Licensing and support

The MADYMO licensing policy is based on an annual subscription to the software. This includes technical support and product upgrades. MADYMO Solver can be used through module licensing as well as token licensing, where MADYMO Tokens are valid for MADYMO Solver as well as for all (dummy) models and Workspace applications. Both stand-alone (node-locked) and network (floating) licenses are available. The MADYMO Solver runs on Windows, Linux as well as Unix systems. Technical support is offered through our local MADYMO support teams.
