Installing MBDyn on any Ubuntu Bases

Installing MBDyn on any Ubuntu Bases

1-      Download and Install any Ubuntu Base.
2-      After Installing, run `apt-get update`
3-      Install the latest updates for gfortran and C++.
4-      Download the MBDyn latest release from. https://www.mbdyn.org/?Software_Download
5-      Untar the downloaded file.
6-      In the directory of mbdyn[$version], configure the source code by writing the command `./configure --prefix=/usr/local`
7-      Make it by writing this command In the directory of mbdyn[$version] `make`
8-      Install it by writing this command In the directory of mbdyn[$version] `sudo make install`
9-   Up till Step No. 8, the software is compiled and installed.

Now, you need to run an MBDyn script. Put the following code in a file say (0x48piraj)

begin: data;
                problem: initial value;
end: data;
begin: initial value;
                initial time: 0.;
                final time: 1;
                time step: 1.e-3;
                max iterations: 10;
                tolerance: 1.e-6;
end: initial value;
begin: control data;
                structural nodes:
                1
                +1 ;
                rigid bodies:
                1 ;   
                joints:
                1 
                +1; 
                gravity;
end: control data;
                set: integer Pendulum = 1;
                set: integer Mass = 2;
                set: real M = 1.;
                set: real L = .5;
                set: real Omega0 = 1;
                set: real Node1 = 1;
                set: real Node2 = 2;
                set: real body = 1;
                set: real joint1 = 1;
                set: real joint2 = 2;
 
                reference: Pendulum,
                reference, global, null,
                reference, global, eye,
                reference, global, null,
                reference, global, 0., Omega0, 0.;
 
                reference: Mass,
                reference, Pendulum, 0., 0., -L,
                reference, Pendulum, eye,
                reference, Pendulum, null,
                reference, Pendulum, null;
 begin: nodes;
                structural: Node1, dynamic,
                reference, global, null,
                reference, global, eye,
                reference, global, null,
                reference, global, null;
 
                structural: Node2, dynamic,
                reference, Mass, null,
                reference, Mass, eye,
                reference, Mass, null,
                reference, Mass, null;
end: nodes;
begin: elements;
                body: body , Node2,
                M,
                reference, Mass, null,
                null;       
 
                joint: joint1, clamp,
                Node1, node, node;
                joint: joint2 , revolute hinge,
                Node1,
                reference, Pendulum, null,
                hinge, reference, Pendulum,
                1, 1.,0.,0., 3, 0.,1.,0.,
                Node2,
                reference, Pendulum, null,
                hinge, reference, Pendulum,
                1, 1.,0.,0., 3, 0.,1.,0.;
gravity: 0., 0., -1., const, 9.81;
end: elements;
 
10-   In the terminal, invoke MBDyn to run the code by writing the following command `mbdyn –f 0x48piraj`
 
11-   After MBDyn complete running, the output files with different extensions will be generated.
