COMPUTER SIMULATION USING MSC ADAMS

Abstract

The goal of the presented paper is to compile a two-link model of manipulator and control the movement of the basket mounted at its end-effector. Authors focus on using MSC Adams in simulation of the motion of a two-link manipulator model. Attention is paid to kinematic and dynamic analysis of the manipulator, its modelling and control. The capability of MSC Adams Control Toolkit is used to design a control system which keeps the basket of the endeffector in horizontal position. Finally, the results obtained by computer simulation of the model are evaluated.
