Join Sebastian Castro and Ed Marquez Brunal as they discuss approaches for modeling and simulation of mechanical contact using Simulink® and Simscape™. Contact modeling can approximate physical phenomena such as rolling, bouncing, gripping, and walking. This can help you build detailed simulations for design and analysis of mechanical systems.
In this video, Sebastian and Ed present the general workflow for modeling mechanical contact in Simulink block diagrams. They explore simple examples with different levels of detail for 1D and 3D contact modeling with Simscape and Simscape Multibody™, along with some useful block libraries you can find online.
After introducing the different contact modeling approaches, Sebastian and Ed demonstrate some models created for robotics and automotive applications. You can find the example models used in this video on MATLAB Central File Exchange.

Thank you for such an excellent upload. A question which is pertinent my problem is whether the software is able to handle a body which can be fragmented after a force has been exerted. I am essentially asking if the fragments can also be dealt with or not.

hey, i am trying to model a typewriter mechanism, i was wondering if i could get some help on how to calculate the impact hammer force as it hits the paper?

Are the files shown in the video available for download? I would like to download them and dive further into the analysis.

[@Thrivedh23]

Can u show me the block diagram for tyre and car model

[@gerard-nagle]

It would been nice to see how the conveyor example was done with the robot

[@roboticseabass]

We explain it in part 2 of this video. Also, you can download the models at goo.gl/QFf2jq

Hi Sebastian. My mistake, I didn't see the info till after I posted the comment. Apologies

[@pierrejackson6865]

useless. u already have files created. how can someone know how it was modeled?

[@roboticseabass]

By downloading the files from the link below, and possibly by not berating the people who could potentially help you. www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/64001-matlab-and-simulink-robotics-arena-introduction-to-contact-modeling
