This project involves experimental research to develop problem solving environment for mechanical system simulation. Specifically, the research develops software tools that facilitate rapid, high-level creation of mechanical system simulators. These tools are used to generate simulators for a variety of applications, including real-time vehicle simulation, legged locomotion and robotics, and investigation of collision and contact problems. There is a great interest in the development of problem solving environments (PSEs) for engineering and science problems. One of the key challenges lies in developing computer science techniques that enable integration of supporting technologies such as computer algebra systems, numerical analysis libraries, geometric modeling systems, and object-oriented programming systems. This research attacks the problem by concentrating on one well-defined but rich domain, rigid-body dynamics simulation. The project has two specific goals: (1) advance the state of the art in mechanical system simulation by making it easier create and modify dynamics simulators, and (2) develop a software architecture and software tools that extend from this domain to more general problem solving environments. of the software tools to generate dynamics simulators for a number of different applications demonstrate the power of the approach.

该项目涉及实验研究，以开发解决问题的机械系统模拟环境。 具体而言，研究开发了促进机械系统模拟器快速，高级创建的软件工具。 这些工具用于生成用于各种应用的模拟器，包括实时车辆模拟，腿部运动和机器人技术以及对碰撞和接触问题的研究。 对于解决问题和科学问题的问题解决环境（PSE）的发展引起了极大的兴趣。 关键挑战之一在于开发计算机科学技术，该技术能够整合支持技术，例如计算机代数系统，数值分析库，几何建模系统和面向对象的编程系统。 这项研究通过专注于一个定义明确但丰富的域，刚体动力学模拟来攻击问题。 该项目有两个具体的目标：（1）通过使其更容易创建和修改动态模拟器，并在机械系统模拟中提高最新技术，并且（2）开发一种软​​件体系结构和软件工具，该软件架构和软件工具从该域扩展到更通用的问题解决环境。 为许多不同应用程序生成动力模拟器的软件工具展示了该方法的功能。
