Blended MBDyn Introduction

Blended MBDyn is a combination of two open source applications, MBDyn and Blender. The python scripts provided on the Blended MBDyn Download page allow these two powerful appications to communicate making a multi-body analysis tool where mechanisms can be built in a graphical interface, the dynamics solved and animated.

Here is the software that comprises this tool:

MBDYN: This is the solver, read all about it at their site

Blender: This is uses as the graphical user interface (gui).

Python scripts I wrote to take a Blender model and turn it into a mbdyn input file and then read the mbdyn output back into blender.
