Technical paper and examples on modeling flexibility in SimMechanics.

paper_generate_lump_plots
function paper_generate_lump_plots
% PAPER_GENERATE_LUMP_PLOTS  Generate plots for flexible-body paper
%
% PAPER_GENERATE_LUMP_PLOTS will simulate the lumped-parameter models referenced in the SimMechanics
% flexible-body white paper, and will then plot and save the results.
