Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for describing the motion of a closed-loop multibody mechanism. In this case, equations of motion need to be obtained for constrained multibody systems. The invention is based on a forward dynamics formulation resulting in a recursive Hamiltonian formulation for closed-loop systems using generalised co-ordinates and conjugated canonical momenta. The method allows to limit the number of arithmetical operations necessary to obtain the equations of motion with a good evolution of the constraints violation errors. Calculations can be performed based on constrained articulated momentum vectors.
