Our Dynamic System Simulator (DSS) enables us to predict movement of a multi-body system behavior in real-physical environments. Control algorithms that can produce forces and moments satisfying desired motion of the system can be validated with DSS. DSS can simulate not only a multi-body system such as robot arm connected to the satellite but also n-body problem like solar system including Sun and Planets for space applications. Satellites, missiles, robots, and airplanes can be treated as multi-body systems for the DSS.
