Motion, Control, and Real-Time Simulation
SimMechanics software and Simulink form a powerful
basis for advanced controls applications: trimming and linearizing
motion, analyzing and designing controllers, converting plant and
controller models to code, and simulating controller and plant on
dedicated hardware. This chapter is a connected set of case studies
illustrating these methods. As its example system, the studies use
the Stewart platform, a moderately complex, six degree-of-freedom
positioning system.
Before attempting these intricate case studies, you should understand
the simpler motion analysis concepts, methods, and results of Analyzing Motion.
Translating a CAD Stewart Platform in the Importing Mechanical Models chapter presents
a related example, converting a Stewart platform computer-aided design
assembly into a SimMechanics model.
