A Universal Simulation Platform for Flexible Systems
share
This article proposes a universal simulation platform for simulating systems undergoing duress. In other words, this paper introduces a total simulation package which includes a number of methods of simulating the flexibility of a given system. This platform includes detailed procedures for simulating a flexible link by a numerical method called finite difference method. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed process, two examples are covered in different situations to discuss the importance of boundary control and mesh selection in the way of ensuring the stability of the system. In addition, a graphical user interface (GUI) application called the SimuFlex is designed having a selection of methods that the user can choose along with the parameters of the controllers that can be easily manipulated from the GUI.
