RecurDyn differs from conventional multibody dynamic analysis programs in its formulation. It uses relative coordinates when formulating the governing equations of motion and kinematics. This reduces troublesome geometric nonlinearities in mechanical systems. For example, automobile simulations with differential gear models on conventional program frequently terminate before completion. Such situations are sensitive to integration error tolerance. Similar simulations are carried out successfully with the newer methods in RecurDyn.
