Abstract
In modern engineering applications, the build up of representative numerical models may be not feasible or involves considerable effort. As a result, the need for experimental investigation on the real structures and the implementation of the measured results into the numerical model arises. Within this contribution, the integration of experimentally derived data into the model build up process of a flexible body within multibody dynamics is investigated. In contrast to the conventional modelling approach, the experimental based approach omits the need of an underlying finite element model of the flexible structure. Both approaches are investigated and compared on a simple experimental test case of a flexible beam-like structure.
