MESA VERDE(R) is a rigid body simulation package. It contains a building kit for structures; control of logic and syntax; a generator of nonlinear, symbolic equations of motion; a solution procedure; and a graphic evaluation.
With MESA VERDE any given 3-D bodies can be modeled. Any kind of system structure, even kinematic loops are permitted. Joints can be defined by the user or taken from a comprehensive library of joints.
Users are free to choose bodies, force elements, entering points for inner and outer forces and moments, the definition of motion of the target system, and the setting of markers.
