Since the advent of the computer some 20 years ago, mechanical engineers have been taking advantage of its power to solve mechanical system design problems. At first, the computer's use was limited: simple programs to solve simple problems. As time progressed, more sophisticated programs were developed, until today, there are programs capable of solving quite complex problems. One of these programs, called DYNSIM, has been developed for railroad applications. It is targeted at car and locomotive truck and suspension systems that involve wheels, axles, motor mounts, bolsters, sideframes, and primary and secondary suspension elements. This paper describes DYNSIM's principal features and presents examples of its use in one simple and one complex situation.
