• A colaborative environment for flexible development of MBS software 

      González Castro, Manuel Jesús (2004)
      [Abstract] Currently, research in multibody systems (MBS) dynamics lacks appropriate tools to support collaboration between different research teams. This thesis addresses that problem, making three contributions to ...
    • A collaborative benchmarking framework for multibody system dynamics 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; González Castro, Manuel Jesús; Cuadrado, Javier; Luaces, Alberto (Springer, 2009)
      [Abstract] Despite the importance given to the computational efficiency of multibody system (MBS) simulation tools, there is a lack of standard benchmarks to measure the performance of these kinds of numerical simulations. ...
    • Non-intrusive parallelization of multibody system dynamic simulations 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Lugrís-Armesto, Urbano; Luaces, Alberto; González Castro, Manuel Jesús (Springer, 2009)
      [Abstract] This paper evaluates two non-intrusive parallelization techniques for multibody system dynamics: parallel sparse linear equation solvers and OpenMP. Both techniques can be applied to existing simulation software ...
    • On the effect of linear algebra implementations in real-time multibody system dynamics 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Dopico, Daniel; González Castro, Manuel Jesús; Luaces, Alberto (Springer, 2007)
      [Abstract] This paper compares the efficiency of multibody system (MBS) dynamic simulation codes that rely on different implementations of linear algebra operations. The dynamics of an N-loop four-bar mechanism has been ...
    • On the Effect of Multirate Co-simulation Techniques in the Efficiency and Accuracy of Multibody System Dynamics 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Naya, Miguel A.; González Castro, Manuel Jesús; Luaces, Alberto (Springer, 2010)
      [Abstract] Dynamic simulation of complex mechatronic systems can be carried out in an efficient and modular way making use of weakly coupled co-simulation setups. When using this approach, multirate methods are often ...
