Hi Yasine,
I understand that you have exported a model of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) from SolidWorks into a simulation environment and you want to simulate the ROV's movement in three-dimensional space (x, y, and z axes).
To achieve the desired 3D movement of your ROV in the simulation, you can follow these steps:
- Use the “Mechanism Configuration” Block to input gravitational acceleration values.
- For typical Earth gravity, set the values to (0, 0, -9.81) m/s², assuming the z-axis is vertical. This will simulate the gravitational pull on your ROV.
- Documentation for “Mechanism Configuration” block:https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2024b/sm/ref/mechanismconfiguration.html
- Attach motion sensors to your ROV model to measure its movement along the x, y, and z axes.
- Position these sensors parallel to the joints or parts of the ROV you wish to monitor.
- Documentation for “Tranform sensor” block https://www.mathworks.com/help/sm/ref/transformsensor.html
You may refer to the following model on “rov design and analysis” for more information
