hey

how can I simulate a motor rotating above a simple supported beam ?attached to spring damper example ,and measuring the beam z motion in a graph

Hello,

if you need to simulate the flexibility of the beam, then you will have to model the beam via a succession of rigid shapes, linked via spring/dampers. Something like:

Code: Select all

shape1 --> joint1 --> shape2 --> joint2 --> shape3 

Shapes should be in non-static mode, and joints should be in force/torque mode, motor enabled, controller enabled with spring/damping selected.

Greetings

how can I fix the last shape on the support because I can not make it static due to the dynamic joint before it ..

any help now please

[coppelia]

you will need to create a dynamic loop closure. Read more here.
