Generates a state-space matrix representation of your mechanical system, for use with a control system design application, such as MATLAB, MATRIXx, or EASY5.
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Name | Enter the name of the object. |
Plant Input | Specify the plant input that Adams Solver uses as plant inputs in the state matrices computation. If you do not specify a plant input, Adams Solver does not output the B and D matrices. Learn about creating plant inputs with Data Element Create Plant State dialog box help. |
Plant Output | Specify the plant output that Adams Solver uses as plant outputs in the state matrices computation. If you do not specify a plant output, Adams Solver does not output the C and D matrices. Learn about creating Data Element Create Plant Outputs. |
Plant State | Specify a plant state to be used to define a set of states that are to be used in the linearization scheme. Learn about Creating Plant States. Adams Solver C++ only. Learn about switching solvers with Solver Settings - Executable dialog box help. |
Reference Marker | Specify the reference marker. |
File Format | Specify the name of the software in whose input format Adams Solver is to output the state matrices. Currently, two software formats are supported: MATRIXx (FSAVE format) and MATLAB (ASCII flat file format). |
