Close collaboration with large aerospace companyImporting 3D Multi-flexible body dynamics models (reduced-FEA) into MapleSim

Example Service Project: Development of Import tool for FE Models

A CYBERNET group companyAny FEA software -> generate required data files (nodal positions, eigenvectors, mass, stiffness, damping matrices) -> import into Maple -> select boundary (active) nodes for MapleSim component-> select all or a subset of vibration modes -> generate custom component (Modelica) -> implement in MapleSim model.
