🎙️ In this episode of the Engineered-Mind Podcast, I speak with Steve Miller, Product Manager at MathWorks, about how multi-body dynamics is used to model real-world mechanical systems with high fidelity. We cover how tools like Simscape Multibody allow engineers to simulate everything from suspensions and power steering to robots and heavy machinery—while integrating with electrical, hydraulic, and control systems.
Steve shares insights from 20+ years in the field, including:
Common modeling mistakes and how to debug them
How to know what physical effects to include or skip
The growing role of AI for surrogate modeling and optimization
Use cases from automotive, robotics, and construction equipment
Tips for automation and speeding up design cycles
Getting started even if you’re not a mechanical engineer
