Simscape Multibody Parts Library

Parameterized parts for Simscape Multibody, with gear assemblies and MATLAB code for extrusions

This set of examples shows you how to create parameterized parts for Simscape Multibody and example MATLAB scripts for defining general extrusions. The parts have been used in a wide range of examples to show how these blocks enable you to rapidly model mechanisms. Within the library are a set of gear assemblies. The parameterized gear assemblies group the required blocks together and parameterize them so that frames are always positioned and oriented correctly.
