Modal approach for consideration of thermal states in multibody systems

The usage of MBS programs for the computation of complex dynamically loaded structures is the current state-of-the-art.BesidestheclassicalmodellingasrigidstructurestheusageofexiblebodiesinMBScontinuouslyincreases.Thebackgroundis given by modal reduced nite element formulations.Due to the increasing complexity of loads and the resulting necessity of high modelling depth, coupling effects between themechanical displacement eld and other eld problems (e. g. temperature eld) cannot be neglected anymore.
