Modeling Multibody Mechanical Systems with Simscape
View schedule and enrollCourse Details
This course focuses on how to model rigid-body mechanical systems in the Simulink® environment using Simscape Multibody™ (formerly SimMechanics™). Topics include:
- Modeling simple multibody systems
- Creating custom geometries and compound bodies
- Creating reusable models of mechanical systems
- Assembling, guiding, and verifying mechanisms
- Importing models from CAD software
- Modeling contact forces between bodies
- Combining Simulink, Simscape™, and Simscape Multibody blocks
