Featured Examples
Interpreting Angle in the Angle-Based Rotational Domain
The angle-based rotational domain tracks angle, theta, and rotational velocity, w, at every node. Use angle-based rotational blocks to model a rotational system where it is important to know many component angles.
Interpreting Torque in the Angle-Based Rotational Domain
Describes how to interpret torques in a Simscape™angle-based rotational network. It outlines the key concepts for understanding the signs of logged torques. It examines rotational spring systems driven by torque sources at different ends, as well as a rotational system of inertias, to illustrate the torque behavior.
Configuring Angle-Dependent Behavior in the Angle-Based Rotational Domain
Set up a a custom mechanism with characteristics that depend on the instantaneous angle in an angle-based rotational network.
Interfacing Angle-Based Rotational and Position-Based Translational Networks
Demonstrates how to interface angle-based rotational networks with position-based translational networks. The first scenario involves a ball rolling on a slope, utilizing the Wheel and Axle (AB-PB) block. The second scenario shows a camshaft mechanism that uses four Cam and Follower (AB-PB) blocks. Both the Wheel and Axle (AB-PB) and Cam and Follower (AB-PB) blocks have translational and rotational ports, and they include an isometric view of the part rotating on its axis. For the model to function as expected, it is important to align these ports and the isometric view correctly with the respective networks. This example describes how to configure this alignment and discusses other important conventions for using these blocks effectively.
