I am modeling a system in simscrape multibody 2nd gen. the input data i have to model the parts is the co-ordinates but in simmechanics 2nd gen the bodies are modeled using fixed dimensions.. what is the best way to convert these co-ordinates to fixed dimensions. and model it in Simmechanics 2nd Gen. its really important pls someone reply for this quesiton and give me a solution

I want to simulate gear joint in matlab simulink, which I have created in solidworks. I tried with both 1st generation and 2nd generation while exporting to simulink. But both the time its showing gear joint is not there , it is taken as welded joint
What should I do?

About those how have questions on ‘reaction forces sensing’ I should say that for example in translation domain by using force and velocity as an input and output out of a joint respectively, plus some sources and sensors available in simscape foundation library, you can easily make an interface and connect them to all actuators available in simscape library as you can see this method has been used frequently in Matlab Second Generation examples. with the name of ‘interface” blocks.

Can u please see the modelling i have done in simmechanics, i have posted some doubts on it in matlab central. Requesting your help and your valuable suggestion

below is the link for the copy of the model i have made

They will teach you how to introduce a motor in your SimMechanics simulation:

Please
