Introducing Kynema, an Open-Source Performance-Portable Flexible-Multibody-Dynamics Solver

In this talk we introduce Kynema, an open-source general flexible-multibody-dynamics solver that is well suited for simulating wind turbine structural dynamics. Kynema uses a Lie-group time integrator for constrained systems and runs on both CPUs and GPUs. Timing results for simulations are presented for the IEA 15-MW turbine with and without aerodynamic forces.
