Modeling and simulation of dynamically constrained objects for limited structurally variable systems in Modelica
Robert A. Reiser, Matthias J. Reiner · Linköping electronic conference proceedings · 2023
This work introduces a new solution for the modeling and simulation of dynamically constrained objects for limited structurally variable systems purely in Modelica. A combination of a collision detection algorithm, the limitation of collisions, and a method to constrain objects based on forces leads to a constraint network in Modelica. It allows a stable and accurate simulation of applications such as robot tool changers in a flexible way without the need for predefined connections in the model.
