 FunctionBay, Inc. company logo |
FunctionBay, Inc. was founded in 2000 in South Korea. (Korean name : 펑션베이㈜)
FunctionBay, Inc. is a professional CAE company and provides MultiBody Dynamics (MBD) software called RecurDyn™, which is used by a number of Major automotive companies or machinery companies, etc. world-wide.
In 2006, FunctionBay, Inc. has entered into a technology partnership with Siemens PLM Software (formerly UGS) so that RecurDyn™ solver has been leveraged NX/Motion in NX™ Digital Simulation software.
What is RecurDyn ?
RecurDyn is an innovative Multibody Dynamics - MBD based CAE software offering state-of-the-art Multi Body Dynamic - MBD capabilities with an integrated powerful and unique non-linear Finite Element Method - FEM extension. RecurDyn’s true Finite Element Method combinded with it´s Multi Body Dynamics - MFBD (Multi Flexible Body Dynamics) mechanical system simulation returns more precise dynamic motion results including stress analysis in one single simulation step. It also features flexible body contacts and non-linear deformations. RecurDyn CoLink, an integrated signal flow oriented control design tool, opens the door to an off-line simulation of mechatronic systems, going far beyond the classical Co-Simulation approach. By using a detailed RecurDyn MFBD plant model the user can significantly reduce the number of loops during the virtual controller parameter optimization process. The unique Recursive Dynamics solver technology represents one of the most efficient ways in solving Multi Body Dynamics equation of motions today, providing high-rated solver robustness and reliability at the same time. All this future oriented technology is embedded in a modern GUI with a clear focus on “intuition”, following standard software handling rules.
RecurDyn’s scalable structure allows a step-by-step approach by starting from classical Multi Body Dynamic -MBD methods, but never leads into a dead-end road if it comes to even non-linear Finite Elements Anayisis -FEA and control structure model refinements.
RecurDyn/ProcessNet lets the user adapt and integrate MFBD capabilities to any CAE-process. By using C# the user has access to the full power of a standardized programming language not being trapped by the restrictions of a proprietary language. Various application oriented libraries focus exactly on the specific simulation tasks of the customers.
Various mechanical Computer Aided Engineering CAE approaches can be taken to simulate your systems with RecurDyn:
•Multibody Dynamics Simulation - MBD allows you to predict and understand the motion of complex mechanisms. •Finite Element Analysis - FEA enables you to predict and understand how a mechanical component will react under various loads and operating conditions. •Multi- Flexible Body Dynamics - MFBD is a combined approach that can be taken to increase the accuracy of your simulation results.
