Multi-Body Systems Benchmark in OpenSim (MBS-BOS)

MBS-BOS

MBS-BOS package is a set of programs that implement the MultiBody Systems (MBS) Benchmark [GDLC06] using the OpenSim [DAA+07] APIs.

The first objective is to assess OpenSim performances in simulating mechanical and robotic devices both in terms of accuracy and solving time.

The second objective is to provide C++ solutions for common problems that can be found in the implementation of simulations of multi-body systems.
