For your convenience a summary of the versions of the supported data formats and software for RecurDyn V8R5 through V9R3 are provided in the table below. Please note that all applications and libraries need to be 64-bit.

Let’s briefly review the following new RecurDyn functionality:
System Navigator– quickly identify structures of subsystems and immediately move to the desired subsystem regardless of hierarchical order
CAD Import Enhancements– intuitively identify CAD hierarchical structures and effectively import original CAD structures
General Grouping– group any combination of desired entities together

MotionPort is pleased to announce the release of Particleworks 6.2, the meshless liquid fluid simulation software based on the Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) method.

Particleworks 6.2 supports co-simulation with flexible bodies of RecurDyn. R-Flex (linear elastic bodies) as well as  F-Flex (nonlinear elastic bodies) with large deformation can interact with polygon walls in Particleworks (defined as patch sets in RecurDyn). Simultaneously, RecurDyn calculates the deformation, dynamic stress and strain under the fluid force calculated by Particleworks.

The newest version of RecurDyn, V9R2, contains many exciting new and improved features. See below to learn more about the enhancements in the areas of Multi Flexible Body Dynamics, RecurDyn Professional and User Interface, and Multi-Physics.

A new Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) software product, MBD for ANSYS™ is now released. ANSYS users can access powerful MBD simulation capabilities that can simulate assemblies in motion and provide loads for structural simulations in ANSYS Mechanical™. Engineers who already use ANSYS Workbench will find this new software easy to use because it is embedded within the Workbench user environment.

MBD for ANSYS is developed by FunctionBay, the company that offers the RecurDyn™ line of standalone, high-end MBD software. Bringing RecurDyn technology to the Workbench user environment results in a powerful MBD tool for the ANSYS community.
