HELP: Simscape for structural engineering

[Fat Ryan]

Hello,

I am assisting my professor by investigating the usefulness of Simscape in structural engineering. I have just recently obtained a copy of Matlab, and I am totally unfamiliar with the entire program as a whole. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good reading materials or tutorials for using Simscape? I ran through the examples at the Mathworks website, but it was not nearly enough. What I have gathered from exploring the Simscape libraries is that this program will likely only be useful in structural dynamics (which I, of course, have zero experience in). If I am mistaken, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your replies.

134 views and no replies :/ I guess no structural engineers use this software. So far in my experience, it has been quite the PITA to built models in.

does anyone know if there is and software to find voids in a building collapse, to make rescue more effective and efficient.




everyone is rare but some people are more common than others.

Why would you post this in my Simscape thread?
