RecurDyn is an interdisciplinary, computer-aided engineering (CAE) software package whose primary function is the simulation of MultiBody Dynamics (MBD). RecurDyn simulates both rigid and flexible body dynamics by combining traditional rigid MBD with cutting-edge finite element technology for modeling flexible bodies. In addition, RecurDyn also includes a tightly-integrated controller design tool, design optimization, particle dynamics for granular materials, and durability and fatigue analysis.

RecurDyn also supports co-simulation with various other computer-aided engineering software tools. RecurDyn includes a seamless co-simulation environment for coupled simulations with computational fluid dynamics solver, Particleworks from Promotech, allowing for detailed analysis of the interaction of fluids and multibody systems.

The base component of RecurDyn is RecurDyn Professional. RecurDyn Professional provides the capacity for all pre- and post-processing, simulating, and and analyzing rigid body systems. It also includes a complete customization environment. RecurDyn Professional is required to use any additional toolkits. Toolkits add functionality to RecurDyn Professional, including GUI features and solver code specific to the field of the toolkit. RecurDyn Professional includes RecurDyn Modeler, the pre- and post-processing environment, RecurDyn/Solver, and RecurDyn ProcessNet, the customization environment. RecurDyn Professional provides rigid body analysis. It includes a library of algebraic, idealized constraints and a library of rigid-to-rigid body contact algorithms.

RecurDyn Professional can perform various kinds of analyses: Dynamics Statics Position, Velocity, and Acceleration at the initial time Design Studies and Design of Experiments.
