Representing Machines with SimMechanics™ Blocks
Representing Machines with SimMechanics Blocks
To model a 3-D multibody system, you use the SimMechanics block library.
This library contains seven sublibraries that you represent the different
model components with. Components that you can represent include rigid
bodies, joints, gear and general kinematic constraints, forces and torques,
and motion sensors.
Open the Library
To open the SimMechanics block library, at the MATLAB command line enter
sm_lib. The SimM echanics block library opens in a new window. The figure
shows the library that opens.
