What Software To Use For Using Pole Placement To Determine PID Gains?

AI Thread Summary
For modeling a control system and determining PID gains using pole placement, Matlab is recommended for its comprehensive capabilities in handling complex computations, including algebraic manipulations and Laplace transforms. Python is also mentioned as a potential alternative, though specific software tools within Python are not detailed. The user expresses a need for assistance with computational difficulties related to equations of motion and transfer functions. There is an inquiry about any preliminary work completed that could guide further assistance. Overall, Matlab is highlighted as a suitable choice for the required tasks.

TL;DR Summary
I'm trying to develop a closed loop control system and trying to tune PID gains using pole placement and deciding which software is the best
Hello I'm trying to model a controls system. The issue I'm having is that the equation of motion and taking the Laplace transform and obtaining the transfer function is computationally difficult. I'm new to this so I don't know which software tools to use. I've heard about Matlab and python. I just need something that can help me do complex computation such as doing tedious algebra for complex equations of motion, Laplace transform, transfer function. Then be able to use for pole placement for tuning PID gains.

Thanks and regards

Matlab should be able to do all those functions and equations. Have you completed any work already to show?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
