Is there any specific document and tutorials available to simulate linear electric actuator using Aerospace blockset in simulink?

Hello!

I'm Sadiq Ali, an UG Aerospace engineering student. I have to design a liner actuator model, as a part of my assignment in simulink using only Aerospace blockset . However I'm not able to find the slecificpecific documentaion or tutorials regarding the model deisgned from Aerospace Blockset on Linerar actiauator.

Hey,

Here are some documents and tutorials available to simulate a linear electric actuator using the Aerospace Blockset in Simulink that can help you get started:

1. Aerospace Blockset Documentation: You can access official MathWorks documentation for Aerospace Blockset online or within MATLAB by typing

doc aerospace

in the MATLAB command window.

2. Aerospace Blockset Examples: The Aerospace Blockset comes with a set of example models that demonstrate various aerospace system simulations. You can access these examples through the MATLAB command window by typing

aerospace_examples

3. Aerospace Blockset Tutorials: MathWorks provides a collection of tutorials that cover different aspects of Aerospace Blockset and its applications. These tutorials can be accessed through the MathWorks website. Here is the link to the Aerospace Blockset tutorials: Aerospace Blockset

4. MATLAB Central File Exchange: The MATLAB Central File Exchange is a community-driven platform where users share their code and resources. You can search for specific aerospace-related simulations or linear electric actuator simulations on the File Exchange to find relevant examples and models.

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi @SADIQ ALI MIR

You can find the documentation about the second-order linear actuator here:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/aeroblks/linearsecondorderactuator.html

If you set the natural frequency and the damping ratio , then the linear actuator dynamics becomes , and the actuator's output is expected to track the step input signal (demand) in approximately 6 seconds.
