Actually, I was reading Shabana’s Book: Computational dynamics, John Wiley & Sons. 2010. As I'm investigating the dynamics of a multi-body system (having rigid and flexible structures). This code was introduced in chapter 9 of Shabana's book with some demonstrations of different parts of the code and it's usage. Yet, to my best knowledge, it was not mentioned from where to get this code. I would like to know where may I find this code, and/or other alternatives with similar or more capabilities?
This software not commercial, Its exclusive for Dr. Shabana Lab and also its complex to use. If you interested using Multibody system dynamics modeling,
use Msc ADAMS software or MATLAB sims-cap toolbox.
Good luck
Dear, Mohamed Sh.
Good answer and I agree for using MATLAB simscap toolbox.
Adams is the god standard - however it has a steep learning curve. Best learned using their free toolkit.
To obtain SAMS/2000 you have to reach out to Professor Shabana directly, I would suggest you getting his contact information from University of Illinois at Chicago's website. I strongly believe that SAMS/2000 should be the reference for all other commercial codes. SAMS/2000 is carefully developed by a pioneer professor in the field of computational multi body dynamics for rigid and flexible bodies. It took more than 35 years of research by professor Shabana and hundreds of his Phd students to develop the code!
The educational version of SAMS/2000 can be downloaded from John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Thank you very much Lingling Tang , I have finally downloaded SAMS/2000 computer code, I really appreciate your help. Thanks to all who has positively contributed to this question.
