principia multibody simulation App for Onshape
The true cloud-native App for design validation.
Multibody simulation kernel for Onshape that bridges the gap between Onshape Assembly and Onshape Simulation.
Functionality checking
Verify system functionality, identify issues, and make necessary design modifications before physical prototyping.
Scaling parts and machine elements
Optimize component performance by evaluating the effects of scaling parameters on system behavior.
Load generation for investigations
Simulate real-world scenarios, analyze stress distribution, deformation, and performance under different loads.

principia Technology
Work seamlessly
Stay within your CAD environment
Stay in your work environment and create simulations whose results and settings can be reviewed and shared at any time.
Avoid redundancies
Save time setting up simulations
Accelerate your design validation process and save up to 75% of your time, enabling faster and more thorough decisions and design iterations.
Deliver faster
Harness the power of cloud computation
Highly efficient cloud-based numerical solvers shorten your waiting times with virtually unlimited computing power.
I am impressed by the simplicity of Principia’s solution. At Knoche Maschinenbau we develop and produce agricultural machinery products, often facing the problem that we do not know attacking loads during development. With Principia MBS, we have the possibility to determine these loads virtually in advance.

Owner & CEO
I have demoed just about every option out there for simulation and yours is absolutely the best simulation system I have found. It was so intuitive and easy to use. Great interface. Just the right amount of complexity. All of the bodies and constraints worked seamlessly and adding forces and sensors was a breeze.

Education Program Principal
We use Principia MBS for dimensioning drive components and for determining ideal motion trajectories. What I like about Principia is the seamless integration into our CAD system Onshape and the possibility to analyze all quantities, cutting forces, values of force elements, and so on in the post-processing.
