One mass model of the vocal folds with three degrees of freedom in 2D space was created and used to simulate the movement of the vocal folds. Vocal folds are modeled as a solid mass stored flexibly in 2D. The model is excited by aerodynamic forces. The flow is solved by analytical model incompressible and non-viscous fluid with constant flow. In case of close of the glottis are aerodynamic forces replaced by Hertz model of the contact forces. Movement equations are solved by numerical method. The model allows to solve the movement of the vocal folds in the time domain, pressure field acting on the vocal folds or contact pressures.
