Bond Graph Modeling and Simulation Using 20-sim
J. A. Tenreiro Machado, Vitor M. R. Cunha · 2021
This chapter offers a bond graph guided example on how to model and study the behavior of a physical system using the 20-sim® software application. The 20-sim software is a modeling and simulation tool used to analyse dynamical systems from multiple physical domains, including systems that are a combination of several. The systems models can be constructed graphically, for example in the form of bond graphs. A library of standard components is available that can be added and combined into a model in order to represent the dynamics of the power variables in the system. The provided linear bond graph elements can be edited, and new elements can also be created. The chapter explores that the 20-sim software adopts the force/torque, linear/angular velocity→effort, flow for translational and rotational mechanical systems. It presents an electromechanical system model with all the bonds established and causality assigned.
