  text: Multibody models of mechatronic systems are usually interdisciplinary and
    are continuously gaining complexity, due to a growing demand for comprehensive
    models of systems including effects of electro mechanics, elastic bodies, contacts
    and friction. To be capable of simulating large models with subassemblies and
    contact between bodies, reduction techniques are required, which need certain
    experience in the choice of parameters. This publication discusses different possibilities
    for the modal description of structures in flexible multibody models with application
    to an Adaptive Frontlighting System in ADAMS. It will be shown that mode count,
    assembling of structures before and after modal reduction and influence of damping
    parameters of particular structures and subassemblies affect the behavior of the
    entire system. A common reduction technique for flexible structures in multibody
    models is the component mode synthesis, which uses a certain number of modes for
    description of the modal behavior of a structure. The influence of the mode count
    will be shown by means of different modal descriptions of one structure that contributes
    to a comprehensive model. Another study will prove that modal data of subassemblies
    and assemblies of modal reduced single structures lead to different models. The
    definition of damping parameters depends on the number of structures that have
    been added to an assembly before modal reduction and on the number of modal reduced
    structures. The comparison of subassemblies and the entire model to experimental
    data will highlight the accuracy, computational overhead, complexity of models
    and modeling efficiency of the comprehensive model for the frontlighting system.
