This file contains a scissor lift model built using SimMechanics and Simscape. The scissor lift model is assembled from a set of parameterized component models, which are included in a separate library. A number of intermediate models are also included to show you the incremental steps of modeling this system. A MATLAB GUI is also included that allows you to interactively change the dimensions of the scissor lift.
Please read the README.txt file to get started.
