This CAREER project emphasizes the use of multibody dynamic modeling as a tool for designing complex dynamic systems via low-order dynamic simulation algorithms, parallel computing, and an efficient combination of heuristic genetic and optimization algorithms. The methodology developed through this research would automatically generate equations of motion and associated simulation code for a specified complex multibody system, and determine from these equations the system design parameters that are considered optimal with respect to some user prescribed design objective. The education plan includes computer-aided mathematical modeling and analysis oriented course developed, and their application in undergraduate design projects such as SAE sponsored electric car race and mini Baja competition. In addition, graduate courses are planned with multibody dynamics software used as a dynamic analysis and design tool. Outreach activities include establishing a formal student exchange program with Technische Hochschule Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany; and strengthening pre-college level programs in engineering and technology currently in existence at RPI.

这个CAREER项目强调使用多体动力学建模作为设计复杂动态系统的工具，通过低阶动态仿真算法，并行计算，以及启发式遗传算法和优化算法的有效结合。通过这项研究开发的方法将自动生成运动方程和相关的仿真代码为指定的复杂多体系统，并确定从这些方程的系统设计参数，被认为是最佳的一些用户规定的设计目标。该教育计划包括计算机辅助数学建模和面向分析的课程开发，以及它们在本科生设计项目中的应用，如SAE赞助的电动汽车比赛和迷你巴哈比赛。此外，研究生课程计划使用多体动力学软件作为动态分析和设计工具。外联活动包括与德国达姆施塔特技术学院建立正式的学生交流计划;并加强RPI目前存在的工程和技术方面的大学预科课程。
