Our XMR package  simulates multibodied mechanisms and robotics systems in Simulink. We handle  the dynamics of your simulation, so you can design control systems and do analyses. 

Please download the XMR  models package also. It has all the models  listed below.

Each application file comes with a Demo license and an instruction that explains how the model is built and how to run it.

The packages run with two other licenses, the Enterprise and Select licenses. Their capabilities are explained in the next table.

 

Buildx Edit Privileges for Three License Types

License Type ==>>

Enterprise Select Demo
Define mass, inertia, cm location yes yes no
Define Constraints: gear, position, directional, contact yes yes yes!
Define Initial State: dcm, angles, angular rates, wheel rates yes yes yes
Define Position and Directional Markers values yes yes yes!
Define External Forces and Torque yes yes yes!
Define Orbit (XSV only): Initial Keplerian coordinates yes yes no
Enable Gravity Gradient Force/Torque (XSV only) yes yes yes
Enable Prescribed Hinge Motion yes yes yes
Enable Flexible Body Dynamics yes yes yes
Multiple (N Body) Vehicle/Machine Simulation yes @ @
Define Hinge Type yes yes* yes*
Define hinge axis,hinge location,alignment yes yes no
Define Plot Data, Plant Dynamics Input/Output Data yes yes yes
Add/Remove markers,forces,constraints yes yes no
Add/Remove bodies, wheels yes no no
Define Model Connectivity: parent body designation yes no no
PC locked yes yes no
For a fee yes yes no
Note:   1. Select License lets you use the simulation package with assigned demo models in the MODEL_LIST                         2.  Enterprise License has all the Select License privileges and the privilege of modifying the connectivity of the model. 

! You can alter the attributes of these objects if they are already defined in the given model.

@If the downloaded model is already a multiple vehicle/machine model. 

* You can toggle the hinge motion type from dynamically determined hinge motion to prescribed hinge motion only.

XMR Package  contains Buildx.exe, Dynawiz1.dll(XMR Order N) and QX3D.exe 
XMR Package installation procedure
Install this package to c:\xmr on your PC
 

Download  and install XMR_MODELS.exe to c:\xmr\ folder. When done, all the models listed below would have been deployed as subfolders to c:\xmr. Within each application folder, click on get_basics to complete the application files that are needed for executing the model editor(buildx.exe), dynawiz1.dll, and the animator(qx3d). Please read the installation notes in the application folders and the manuals that are in the c:\xmr folder.

Click 'view' below to see a static picture of the model, and 'animate' to see a short animation. The images and animations were generated using the QX3D program. 

Important: Your browser must be VRML compatible in order to view the model image or animation that are generated with QX3D. If not, install a VRML plugin(current Cortona VRML client: cortvrml.exe ) from www.parallelgraphics.com and to view .wrl files.

XMR Models 
Robot_arm1 view/animate This is a six link robot arm, moving from some initial configuration to a commanded configuration. Each joint is a 1 dof revolute joint.
Stanford_arm view/animate This is a six link arm, where all hinges are 1 dof rotational joints except for the third hinge which is a 1 dof translational joint. The arm is in a zero gravity condition. Initially, the joint(2) is at a 90 deg position with a -5 deg/sec angular rate. When the simulation starts, a 1 Hz force pulse is sent to the translational joint for 20 seconds. The simulation runs for 30 seconds. No feedback control is employed
Bouncing

view/animate

A ball falls from 10 ft along z-axis, with a 0.5 ft/s velocity in the y-axis. The ball is 1 ft in diameter, rotates initially with [30 30 30] deg/s with its cm offset at [.05 .05 .05] ft from the ball center. The ball bounces in the +y direction with lower height with each bounce.
Three_bar view/animate A three bar link is simulated with the tip of bar 3 anchored initially. This anchor constraint is removed at 10 seconds into the simulation. The motion of the three bar link is driven by the gravity force.
Pendulum view/animate A pendulum simulation.
Inv_pendulum view/animate An inverted pendulum is mounted on a wheeled cart. Gravity acts on it. Force to the cart is the only control available to prevent the pendulum from falling down. The pendulum is initially tilted 10 degrees away from vertical. A linear controller with a controlled angular bias is used to keep the pendulum upright and move to a commanded position.
Engine_4cyl view/animate A four cylinder 4-stroke internal combustion engine. A motor starts the engine. Each cylinder has a simplified combustion profile with a maximum force that can be set in the Simulink program.The model also has frictional forces along the pistons, the rods and the shaft. (Animation file takes a while to display.)
