    • Employ forward dynamics to determine the system’s motion, taking into account known joint torques and external forces.
  3. Challenges and Solutions:
    • Address the challenges introduced by the inclusion of flexible bodies, requiring the solution of a coupled set of PDEs with separated Boundary Conditions (BCs).
    • Develop a shooting-method-based BC solver to consolidate BCs into one point.
