ABSTRACT
To facilitate the use of data that describe finite element or continuum models for the simulation of flexible members in multibody codes, standard input data (SID) is defined. The SID are based on a modal representation of small body deformations. Therefore, integrals appearing in the multibody system equations can be pre-calculated by pre-processors and stored in the SID file before simulation. The SID structure is organized using an object-oriented class description.
