Abstract: A numerical simulation of parachute deployment is examined by multi rigid body model. The parachute system is regarded as a chain multi rigid body. An order n recursion algorithm is constructed to resolve constrain between ropes. The model can be used to study the "Line Sail" of parachute deployment.
