Considering flexible bodies in engineering analysis is crucial to achieve lighter, smarter, and therefore more efficient designs. The bottleneck in doing so is often computational efficiency, especially for control and/or optimization purposes. Recursive formulations are usually computationally more efficient and may help addressing the real-time challenge. If you are interested in efficient flexible multibody dynamics simulations, you should check out our latest research on a floating-frame-of-reference-based recursive formulation.
