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.

该项目涉及开发机械系统仿真问题解决环境的实验研究。 具体来说，该研究开发了有助于快速、高级地创建机械系统模拟器的软件工具。 这些工具用于生成适用于各种应用的模拟器，包括实时车辆模拟、腿式运动和机器人技术，以及碰撞和接触问题的调查。 人们对开发工程和科学问题的问题解决环境（PSE）非常感兴趣。 关键挑战之一在于开发计算机科学技术，以实现计算机代数系统、数值分析库、几何建模系统和面向对象编程系统等支持技术的集成。 这项研究通过专注于一个定义明确但丰富的领域——刚体动力学模拟来解决这个问题。 该项目有两个具体目标：(1) 通过更轻松地创建和修改动力学模拟器来推进机械系统仿真的最新技术，(2) 开发从该领域扩展到更普遍问题的软件架构和软件工具解决环境。 为许多不同应用生成动力学模拟器的软件工具的使用证明了该方法的强大功能。
