SimMechanics

Modeling a Piston   8:58

Model a piston using multibody dynamics. Bodies, joints, and 3D visualization are defined and simulated.

Importing and Merging CAD Models into SimMechanics   7:13

Import models from CAD systems to SimMechanics using SimMechanics Link. Separate changes made in the CAD system and SimMechanics are automatically merged in the final model.

Designing a Controller   9:10

Design a compensator (PID, etc.) to control a mechatronic system. Linear control theory is used to design the control system.

Integrating Physical Systems and Controller   5:50  

Detect system integration issues in simulation. Mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and control systems are gradually integrated into a full system model.

Optimizing System Performance   6:08  

Automatically tune the performance of a hydromechanical pitch control system to meet system requirements using optimization algorithms.

Balancing Model Fidelity and Simulation Speed   5:01  

Select model variants and adjust simulation modes to properly configure the model for the test you wish to run.

Analyzing and Documenting Results   4:02  

Automatically run tests and generate a report documenting simulation results.

Simulating In Real Time: Hydromechanical Example   5:40  

Configure multiple, independent solvers to enable real-time simulation. The model of a hydromechanical pitch control system is simulated on a real-time target.

Using Local Solvers for Real-Time Simulation   4:22  

Configure Simscape local solvers on your physical networks to enable real-time simulation. The computations per time step are minimized while maintaining accuracy.

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) Testing   5:22

Use HIL testing instead of hardware prototypes to test control algorithms. A multidomain physical model is converted to C code and simulated on controller hardware.

Protecting Intellectual Property in Subsystems   4:39  

Share physical models without exposing intellectual property. The protected subsystems can be used for simulation and parameter testing.
