Model Development Guide
Step-by-step guide to creating a new model - or loading an existing one – generating the model equations and viewing them.
Coordinate System Selection in ModelBuilder
Unlike most other multi-body system modeling tools that only generate models in one, absolute coordinate system, DynaFlexPro allows you to select the starting coordinate system to which the rest of the system reference frames are mapped. This can produce much more concise equations than purely absolute coordinates. However, to use this feature, you needed to know a little about linear graph theory concepts like T-Trees and R-Trees and how they relate to the coordinate systems.
Now, you simply the select the coordinate system that is most appropriate for your application. If you’re not sure, the system will even recommend a coordinate system that minimizes the size and number of equations.
Equation Builder Assistant
The Equation Builder Assistant walks you through converting the model description to the kinematic and dynamic equations that describe the motion of the system. There are many options that can be set in this process and the Assistant allows you to set them without knowing any Maple command syntax.
You can then navigate through the resulting model to view and export the equations you need for your work.
Simulation Assistant
All parameters are available through the Simulation Assistant to produce plots of the behavior of the system. All the Maple commands used to produce the simulation can be saved in the Maple worksheet for easy re-execution.
