Welcome to another session of the Physical Modeling in Simscape with Simulink & MATLAB blog series! In this post, we’ll expand on the gear transmission model by introducing variable inputs and exploring runtime configuration. These techniques are essential for modeling real-world systems like automotive engines, where conditions constantly change.
This blog is designed for engineers and students looking to refine their skills in physical modeling Simscape. For structured learning, check out Skill-Lync’s Full Course, which provides hands-on practice with Simscape for beginners and advanced users.
Step 1: Adding Variable Inputs
Using a Repeating Sequence:
Configure the block with:
This setup generates a triangular waveform where angular velocity ramps up to 1000 rad/s every 2 seconds and then resets.
Connecting the Input:
Simulation Output:
Step 2: Using a Signal Builder
For more control over input signals, use the Signal Builder block.
Configuring the Signal Builder:
Visualizing Results:
Step 3: Runtime Configuration with Slider Gain
Introducing the Slider Gain:
Infinite Simulation:
Practical Applications: This setup mimics real-world scenarios like adjusting throttle input in a vehicle engine.
Step 4: Analyzing the Results
Input-Output Comparison:
Interpreting Graphs:
Observe that the linear velocity closely follows the angular velocity input, scaled by the gear ratio and wheel radius.
Conclusion
You’ve now mastered the art of introducing variable inputs and configuring runtime simulations using Simscape physical modeling. These techniques are crucial for building realistic models that adapt to changing conditions.
For a deeper understanding, consider enrolling in Skill-Lync Simscape Course Online, which includes Simscape certification and real-world projects to solidify your learning.
Stay tuned for our next blog, where we’ll explore multi-domain modeling and complex systems using MATLAB Simscape. Happy modeling!
