PyDy: Multibody Dynamics with Python

Introduction

Welcome to the PyDy project website. PyDy, short for Python Dynamics, is a both a workflow that utlizes an array of scientific tools written in the Python programming language to study multibody dynamics and a set of software packages that help automate and enhance the workflow. The core of this toolset is the SymPy mechanics package which generates symbolic equations of motion for complex multibody systems and PyDy which extends the SymPy output to the numerical domain for simulation, analyses, and visualization. PyDy builds on the popular scientific Python stack such as NumPy, SciPy, IPython, matplotlib, Cython, and Theano.
