New features and changes introduced in this version are organized by these topics:

Actuators & Drivers Library Blocks

New features and changes introduced in this version are:

New Generic Rotary Actuator Block

The Generic Rotary Actuator block models the torque-speed characteristics of a generalized rotary actuator.

New Generic Linear Actuator Block

The Generic Linear Actuator block models the force-speed characteristics of a generalized linear actuator.

Improved Servomotor Block

The Servomotor block now allows for the specification of additional parameters from within the Block Parameters dialog box.

Compatibility Considerations

During simulation, the updated Servomotor block is backwards-compatible with models defined in earlier versions of the software. However, the model generates a warning in this version because the block dialog box supports additional unit options for torque and speed data. To remove the warnings, open the block dialog box and select appropriate units for the torque and speed data.
