Interfacing Angle-Based Rotational and Position-Based Translational Networks
Demonstrates how you can define positive directions for translation and rotation in your physical view and adjust the Simscape™ network to achieve the desired behavior. It highlights the flexibility of Simscape in mapping physical directions to schematic representations.
Camshaft
Model a camshaft using Cam and Follower (AB-PB) blocks. The camshaft has four cams, each driving a knife-edge follower on a spring. This example describes how to set up the cam profile, offset angles between the cams, and initial conditions.
