The main goal of this study was to develop a tutorial about creation of flexible bodies in Mevea real-time simulation software. The work was commissioned by Mevea Ltd.

Various sources were used to collect the data for the study. Background information about multibody system dynamics was received during Simulation of Mechatronic Machine course by Aki Mikkola, Lappeenranta University of Technology, as well as from books found using resources of Lappeenranta Academic Library. Previous tutorials for Mevea software were used as a training material, combined with guidance from Mevea personnel.

The final result of this thesis was the tutorial about flexible body creation in Mevea Modeller, and ways of customising Mevea Solver window. The initial concept of the tutorial was changed to adopt the needs of the commissioner better. The tutorial demonstration and analysis of future opportunities showed possible ways of developing Mevea tutorial base: creating video tutorials, separating the tutorials into smaller parts, including more topics that interest students.
