Running Mechanical Models

---

SimMechanics software gives you multiple ways to simulate and analyze machine motion in the Simulink environment. Running a mechanical simulation is similar to running a simulation of any other type of Simulink model. It entails setting various simulation options, starting the simulation, interpreting results, and dealing with simulation errors. See the Simulink documentation for a general discussion of these topics. This chapter focuses on aspects of simulation specific to SimMechanics models.
