DADS/Plant(TM)

DADS/Plant(TM) combines the strengths of DADS mechanism modeling and animation with the strengths of systems and controls simulation in programs such as MATLAB, MATRIXx, and EASY5x. DADS/Plant provides interactive, graphical model construction of the plant mechanism and automatically generates the equations of motion. This eliminates time-consuming, error-prone manual derivation and manipulation of equations of motion in the controls simulation program. The controls simulation program calls DADS/Plant as a subroutine at each integration time step and updates the mathematical model. The data transfer is completely automatic and transparent to the user. The system simulation is performed with in the controls program.
