Abstrakt: The article focuses on a multibody dynamics model created by the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) to help in the physical testing of Stryker vehicles in support of the Stryker Project Management Office (PMO). It cites the physical characteristics that reflect the proper representation of a system which include weight, center of gravity (COG) site and moments of inertia (MOI). Also explored is the method of analyzing a ballast kit through an iterative process with the use of engineering software.
