This software package is the result of the current needs of multibody clients, who demand far more than a traditional application able to model and analyze mechanisms. They want a tool which is highly flexible, efficient and transparent and can therefore be used to integrate multibody models in the frame of real-time multidisciplinary simulations. In order to show the good performance of this tool, its application in European project ODECOMS is presented.11enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1504/ijvd.2002.001978MechatronicsMultibody systemsReal time simulationSymbolic manipulationVehicle designAutomotive EngineeringMechanical Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=0036154458&partnerID=8YFLogxK
