I am looking for a software which will help me analyse simple to complex mechanisms with ease. It will be advantageous such software also support co-simulations.
You can check this overview site for a more or less comprehensive list:
http://real.uwaterloo.ca/~mbody/#Software
some of the software listed there is open-source.
We have developed an Open Source Multibody Dynamics simulation code:
http://www.hotint.org
There is lots of Documentation and you can also use this as a Windows executable.
these are the packages I have found so far:
Darwin2K
Gazebo
simrobot
opensim

Hello, I develop the opensource software openmeca : https://gitlab.com/damien.andre/openmeca available for Windows, Mac OsX and Linux. OpenMeca is a standalone program designed for educational mechanics. OpenMeca does not support cosimulation. Its usage is very easy but it does not gives realistic drawing of system because openmeca uses symbols instead of real parts with complex geometries. Some examples are available on youtube.
You are welcome ! :)
if you use it, don't hesitate to give me your feedback to improve the soft.
Check the notes section of www.concurrent-dynamics.com. The down-loadable pdf’s shows how to formulate the eom efficiently for generic multibody simulations, to simulate it and to test it. All for free! Enjoy the pdf’s.
