Mechanical Dynamics, Inc., incorporated in 1977, develops, markets and supports virtual prototyping solutions. The Company's ADAMS mechanical system simulation software allows engineering teams to create virtual prototypes of their complex mechanical system designs on the computer. Mechanical's products include Professional Series, Extension Products, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Interface Product and order entry management system (OEMS) Products. The Company also offers Software Maintenance Services and Professional Services. Professional Series ADAMS/Solver is the underlying solution engine. ADAMS/Solver automatically formulates and solves the equations of motion to provide complete kinematic, static and dynamics analysis of mechanical systems. ADAMS/View is an interactive graphical environment for the full ADAMS product line, and combines simple iconic, point-and-click operation with advanced model-building, simulation, animation and xy plotting capabilities. ADAMS/Car and ADAMS/Pre are special versions of ADAMS designed specifically for advanced simulation of full vehicles and chassis subsystems. Embedded within the software are the specialized design and analytical expertise of automotive industry leaders. A custom menu-driven user interface highlights capabilities familiar to vehicle designers so customers can use these products with little formal training. ADAMS/Driver allows the user to add the element of human driver response to vehicle simulations. ADAMS/Driver can simulate the actions and reactions of a vehicle's operator under a variety of driving conditions. ADAMS/Driveline provides engineers and analysts with specialized tools for modeling and simulating driveline components and studying the dynamic behavior of the entire driveline during different input conditions. ADAMS/Driveline can also be used to explore interactions between driveline and chassis components, such as suspensions, steering systems, brakes and the vehicle body. Other Professional Series Products are ADAMS/Engine, ADAMS/Aircraft, ADAMS/Rail, ADAMS/Tire, ADAMS/Insight and ADAMS/PostProcessor. Extension Products ADAMS/Controls enables the integration of non-linear ADAMS mechanical models with controllers developed in control system design packages, such as MATLAB and EASY5. The product allows users to test how control systems will affect their mechanical system, and visualize the effects of both controls and mechanics in an integrated virtual system test environment. ADAMS/Flex enables the automatic exchange of data between ADAMS and finite element analysis (FEA) software, including ANSYS, ABAQUS and MSC/NASTRAN. This two-way interface provides for accurate loading conditions for FEA and a more complete understanding of flexible effects on mechanical system performance. Also, ADAMS/AutoFlex enables the automatic creation of simple flexible components within the ADAMS environment, thereby removing the step of importing data from FEA software and speeding up the iterative design process. ADAMS/Hydraulics enables the simulation of complex mechanical systems that are powered by hydraulic elements. Static, linear, transient and dynamic analyses are all supported for combined mechanical and hydraulic models. ADAMS/Linear enables the linearization of the inherently non-linear equations of motion that are typically formulated by ADAMS. Having such data in linear form can significantly enhance the ability to study the stability and vibratory behavior of mechanical system models. ADAMS/Linear can also provide an easy link to control system design packages, such as MATLAB. Other Extension Products are ADAMS/Vibration, ADAMS/Durability and ADAMS/EDM. CAD/CAM Interface Products ADAMS/Exchange provides an industry-standard, two-way interface for exchanging model geometry between ADAMS and many other CAD/CAM packages. This saves time in data transfer, while enhancing the accuracy and realism of mechanical system simulations. CAT/ADAMS was developed by the Company in collaboration with a cons
