Parallel computations speed up simulation of multibody system dynamics, in particular, dynamics of railway vehicles and trains. It is important for reduction of required time at the stage of new railway vehicle design, for increase of complexity of studied problems and for real-time applications. We consider realization of parallel computations in Universal Mechanism software in three different areas: simulation of rail vehicle and train dynamics, evaluation of wheel profile wear and multi-variant computations. The use of clusters for parallel running of multi-variant computations is illustrated. Co-simulation based on the interface between Universal Mechanism and Matlab/Simulink and other software tools is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
