<a href="https://mathworks.com/products/simmechanics.html">Simscape Multibody</a> permits to model multibody systems using blocks representing bodies, joints, constraints, force elements, and sensors.

<h2 id="org9ce7a71"><span class="section-number-2">1</span> Solid bodies</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
Each solid body is represented by a <a href="https://mathworks.com/help/physmod/sm/ref/solid.html">solid block</a>.
The geometry of the solid body can be imported using a <code>step</code> file. The properties of the solid body such as its mass, center of mass and moment of inertia can be derived from its density and its geometry as defined by the <code>step</code> file. They also can be set by hand.

<p>
Frames are very important in simscape multibody, they defined where the forces are applied, where the joints are located and where the measurements are made.
</p>

<p>
They can be defined from the solid body geometry, or using the <a href="https://mathworks.com/help/physmod/sm/ref/rigidtransform.html">rigid transform block</a>.

Solid Bodies are connected with joints (between frames of the two solid bodies).

There are various types of joints that are all described <a href="https://mathworks.com/help/physmod/sm/ug/joints.html">here</a>.

<p>
For each of the joint primitive, we can specify the dynamical properties:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The <b>spring stiffness</b>: either linear or rotational one</li>
<li>The <b>damping coefficient</b></li>
</ul>

<p>
For the actuation, we can either specify the motion or the force:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>the force applied in the corresponding DOF is provided by the input</li>
<li>the motion is provided by the input</li>
</ul>

<p>
A sensor can be added to measure either the position, velocity or acceleration of the joint DOF.
</p>

<p>
Composite Force/Torque sensing:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Constraint force</li>
<li>Total force: gives the sum across all joint primitives over all sources: actuation inputs, internal springs and dampers.</li>
</ul>

<p>
A transform sensor block measures the spatial relationship between two frames: the base <code>B</code> and the follower <code>F</code>.
</p>

<p>
It can give the rotational and translational position, velocity and acceleration.
</p>

<p>
The measurement frame should be specified: it corresponds to the frame in which to resolve the selected spatial measurements. The default is <code>world</code>.
</p>

<p>
If we want to simulate an <b>inertial sensor</b>, we just have to choose <code>B</code> to be the <code>world</code> frame.
</p>

<p>
<b>Force sensors</b> are included in the joints blocks.

We can apply <b>external forces</b> to the model by using an <a href="https://mathworks.com/help/physmod/sm/ref/externalforceandtorque.html">external force and torque block</a>.

<p>
Internal force, acting reciprocally between base and following origins is implemented using the <a href="https://mathworks.com/help/physmod/sm/ref/internalforce.html">internal force block</a> even though it is usually included in one joint block.
