Hello,

I need to model some spherical joints with damping.

Apparently, contrary to revolute joints, it seems that it is not possible to add damping in spherical joints. Indeed, contrary to the revolute joint where there is an option to put spring or damping element, i don't find this option in the spherical joint. 

Do you have a idea to model spherical joints with damping (without changing the spherical joint)?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hello,

I have modeled a slidercrank with absolute coordinates.

I have a slight problem when I want to mesure the Euler angles with Euler angle sensors.

In fact, the angle of the crank around the z axis (gamma1) always stay betwen -pi and pi. I would have like to see the value of my angle always increases with the evolution of the time since I impose a constant torque on the crank.

How can I do to observe the Euler angles of a body (parameterized with absolute coordinates) without any limit between [-pi,pi]?

Thank you for your help.

PS: I insert my model attached

slidercrank_3D_AC.msim

Hello,

I have a Maple package which is a .mla file.

How can I open it to have access to the source code ?

I would like to open it in order to modify a procedure and to use it indepently of the package.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,

I use maple for the determination of the symbolic relations between the geometric relations on multibody system.

I would like to create a dll function for the functions that I have determined symbolically.

I have already a paper presenting : 
- the transformation Maple --> code C with the package with(CodeGeneration)
- and the transformation code C --> another software.

I would like to directly create a dll function from my maple function with using code C. Is it possible and how ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,

Is it possible to hide the geometry linked to the center of gravity and masses in the implicit geometry and keep only the kinematic joint.

If yes, may you explain how ? For the moment, I only manage to show/hide all the element of the implicit geometry. 

I use MapleSim 6.4.

Thank you for your help.
