Abstract

A generic framework for mechanical modeling of objects that collide and have contact is presented. It can be used in combination with the Modelica MultiBody library and to model granular objects using DEM (Discrete Element Method). The shapes of the objects are given by general triangular meshes

Keywords

MultiBody models; Discrete Element Method; Collision detection; Contact handling
