Mechanical Dynamics, Inc. 2301 Commonwealth Blvd. Ann Arbor, Michigan  48105

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have represented Mechanical Dynamics, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), for registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of a maximum of 400,000 of the
Company's common shares, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), issued or
to be issued pursuant to options granted under the Mechanical Dynamics, Inc.
1996 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees (the "Plan").

    Based upon our examination of such documents and other matters as we deem
relevant, it is our opinion that the Common Stock to be offered by the Company
under the Plan pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorized
and, when issued and sold by the Company in accordance with the Plan and the
stock options exercised thereunder, will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

    We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit hereby that we
come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

    Very truly yours,

    HONIGMAN MILLER SCHWARTZ AND COHN
