SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on modeling forces acting on a body in Simulink, specifically in the context of spring-damped systems. It confirms that users can implement models directly using the equations of motion (mä = sum of given forces) without needing to convert to state-space models through Laplace transforms. The conversation concludes with the user, Marlon, indicating that their problem has been resolved, suggesting that the direct approach was effective.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Simulink for modeling dynamic systems
  • Familiarity with equations of motion in physics

Hello everyone...


I have a little question on simulink. When forces acting on a certain body are given (just like a spring-damped system for example) can we automatically implement such a model in simulink by only using the equations of motion (mä = sum of given forces) or do I always need to convert the problem into a space state-modell using laplace transforms and determining the matrices…
