Abstract A classical approach to the MBS modeling is to use absolute coordinates, i.e. a set of (possibly redundant) coordinates that describe the absolute position and orientation of the individual bodies w.r.t. to an inertial frame (IFR). A well-known problem for the time integration of the equations of motion (EOM) is the lack of a singularity-free parameterization of spatial motions, which is usually tackled by using unit quaternions. Lie group integration methods were proposed as alternative approach to the singularity-free time integration. Lie group integration methods, operating directly on the configuration space Lie group, are incompatible with standard formulations of the EOM, and cannot be implemented in existing MBS simulation codes without a major restructuring. A framework for interfacing Lie group integrators to standard EOM formulations is presented in this paper. It allows describing MBS in terms of various absolute coordinates and at the same using Lie group integration schemes. The direct product group SO(3)xR3; and the semidirect product group SE(3) are use for representing rigid body motions. The key element of this method is the local-global transitions (LGT) transition map, which facilitates the update of (global) absolute coordinates in terms of the (local) coordinates on the Lie group. This LGT map is specific to the absolute coordinates, the local coordinates on the Lie group, and the Lie group used to represent rigid body configurations. This embedding of Lie group integration methods allows for interfacing with standard vector space integration methods.
