input and output data required by the dynamics model
plot data that results from the simulation
discrete processes and switches
differential equations supporting signal processing and controls
timing data for the simulation
It's a Code Generator!
Once
the model file is defined, and with a push of a button, it prints out the template
of the Control Subroutine for you to build on. The template makes sure that you have
the correct interface to the dynamics simulation engine DynaWiz. It has the insertion points for
you to define local variables, and instructions that represent your application specific
switching functions, control functions, discrete processes, and disturbances. (This capability is for Fortran and C++ versions only.)
It's a Handy
Calculator! It takes a snap shot of the simulated vehicle and calculates almost
anything you want to know about the vehicle dynamics and motion, such as
postion, and velocity of any point on the system
constraint torque or force at specified hinges
system angular and linear momentum
system kinetic energy
system mass matrix
center of mass of a subgroup of bodies outboard of specified
hinges
