The current state of the absolute nodal coor-dinate formulation (ANCF) is reviewed for large-displacement and large-deformation problems in flexible multibody dynamics. This review covers most of the known implementations of different kinds of finite elements including thin and thick planar and spatial beams and plates. Physical experiments were carried out to verify simulation resulats that show the accuracy of the ANCF applied to real physical problems. And simulation results are compared with experiments having significant geometrical non-linearity. A beam, a plate, a rotating chain, and a rotating strip were compared as examples. Current and further development directions of the ANCF are also briefly outlined.
