How can we design a wind turbine and simulate it?

Hi all,

A while ago, I had asked a question relating to calling to an MapleSim .msim simulation within maple .mw worksheet. (Thank you Acer! :) I got it working but then another issue just popped up...The basic structure is as follows:

********************************************************************

A := MapleSim:-LinkModel('filename' = "TriplePendulum_WORKS_v2.msim")

for z from 1 to 50 do

     initialize_variables;

Hello,

I have created a MapleSim model including a few custom components. When I try to run the simulation, I receive the following error:

cannot resolve function `Main.'Typesetting:-mambiguous'`; there is no function `'Typesetting:-mambiguous'` visible in model `Main`

How do I know where the source of the error is?

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

In MapleSim, I know that after running a model simulation, one can save the data via 'export data in excel or csv' format...

But is it possible to automate this process via a script? For example, if I wanted to see what the model data looks like by varying one parametere between 10 to 50?

Example:

for i = 1:50

   variable_in_model = i;

   run MapleSim model;

   save MapleSim model data;

Bonjour

Je n'arrive pas à faire fonctionner un montage simple.

J'ai un message d'erreur : (in dsolve/numeric/RunSimulation) unable to compile, please check your options by running with infolevel [ToExternal]:=1; simulation failed.

Que dois-je faire ?

Does anybody know how to configure the model to obtain the position constraint equations of a slider-crank mechanism as:

l1·cos(theta)+l2·sin(beta)-s = 0
l1·sin(theta)-l2·cos(beta) = 0

instead as obtained in the help-example on:
http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/MapleSim/view.aspx?path=MapleSim/Multibody/Kinematic_Exports

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone.

I have a doubt:

On the example at "kinematic exports help", the position constrain equations are not the same as the one made by hand. In fact, they should be as:

l1·cos(theta)+l2·sin(beta)-s = 0

l1·sin(theta)-l2·cos(beta) = 0

I know that a bit difference might be due to de sector of the angle beta. However, what I cannot undestand is why the term "s" appears multiplying to "cos(theta)" in the example.

Can anybody please help me?

Regards.

Hi,

How can I model a ground pattern, like was done in the demos of the planetary rover (http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maplesim/demo/OrangWowMoment.aspx)?

I see in the block model of the planetary rover that there is a component called "ground pattern" and it is not connected to any of the other components of the model, and this component is also not part of any default libraries of Maplesim.

Dear Maplers

I would like to define a component in MapleSim, which is difficult to write with a single equation, but rather it would be defined with a bunch of equations (a procedure). Can it be done programatically, i.e. can I write my own code (procedure) in Maple programming language to define the component? Or should I subdivide the problem to smaller steps (equations) and define a component for each of them? What would be the best way? Could you possibly give an example?

let say I have a rod(x-direction) with a mass at each end. I want to apply two different forces(both z-direction) to the ends of the rod. Also, i want the force to be always perpendicular to the rod length. The rod is supposed to be spinning. However, the rod only move at the speed due to the larger force.

How can I make the rod to be spinning(each end move at different speed)?

And, how to use the solid green(flange A)? I am very curious about this asI believe...

Hello everyone.

When exporting the model in the picture, I want the variables to be:

s_P2(t), theta_R2(t) and theta_R3(t), as in the help example.

http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/MapleSim/view.aspx?path=MapleSim/Multibody/Kinematic_Exports

However, I obtain:

theta_R1(t), theta_R2(t) and theta_R3(t)

How can I choose the variables that I want?

Thanks for make learning easier!

Hello,

I downloaded the Modelica_Fluid 1.0 Library from the Modelica website. When I try to import this library into MapleSim5 I get the following error:

Duplicate class definition found for Modelica_Fluid.Pipes.BaseClasses.WallFriction.Detailed.msim/UNKNOWN

I then click "ok" and the importing stops working with the last message being:

Querying Modelica classes...

Can anybody offer help with this?

Hello everyone.

When exporting by an multibody attachment, the name of the variables exported from a revolute or translational joint, are set by default, like "s_P2(t)", "theta_R", etc. If I wanted them to be named "x(t)",... , what will I have to do?

Is it possible to do directly, without using an alias?

Hello!

Could you pleasу tell me, is it possible to make MapleSim not to simplify equation set of my model and solve equations without simplification? I want to do this because simplification process (reduction of equations number) takes too much time in comparison with integration process.

Thank you!

Hi all,

 i have a problem with the equation generation in MapleSim, when using spring/damper elements in a Multibody-System. As an example, I've created a model of a mass-spring-damper system:
