Multibody dynamics analysis is a powerful tool for the comprehensive simulation of the dynamic response of various flexible aerospace systems that are important to the Air Force. Systems of arbitrary topology and complexity can be readily modeled; they include both aircraft and spacecraft. In present formulations, the joints connecting the various flexible bodies are not modeled per se. Rather, the effect of joints, i.e. the constraints they impose on the behavior of the entire system are modeled through a set of kinematic constraints; the piece of hardware that actually constitutes the joint is not modeled.
