One of the most cited concerns of users applying multibody simulation codes to system design is computational speed. In this contribution two aspects of how to reduce simulation time are discussed: the application of parallel processing, and the appropriate modelling of flexible bodies. To exploit the benefits of parallel computer architectures, an interdisciplinary approach has been pursued, combining knowledge of the three disciplines dynamics, numerical mathematics and computer science. Flexible structures may be analyzed using finite element or multibody codes. To represent the motion of a flexible body as the superposition of large reference motions and small deformations, we examine the so-called geometric stiffening effects. The methodology is used to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the approach and to propose a standardization of flexible body models in multibody system codes.
