: Which software can create real mechanical simulation? I know this SE is not the best place to ask this question but there are no mechanical eng. or CAD related SE. I want to make simulations

@Gail6891361

You should be asking mechanical engineering questions on engineering.se. Engineering.SE wont accept external resource questions so in this case you should ask software recommendations. Depends on how accurate your simulation has to be, what you need to simulate and what the audience of your results are. If you really need real engineering accuracy then your main options are:


MSC Adams
Simpack
LMS Virtual.Lab


If you dont really need full on contact but mathematical modeling might do then consider:


Matlab/simulink
Modellica (Open modellica, dymola, wolfram modeller)
SimX


Which are the top contenders. Many of the CAD aps can do rudimentary contact simulation but its not terribly accurate in terms of analysis, more at par with animation engines, good for visualization only. I remember doing this in Catia with contacs years back... But then that would contend with simpack.

I think now days you have a lot of options on 3D software that accept phisics. For example you can try Blender.

Here is a video doing that:
