Control design on complex machines requires reliable models of their dynamical behavior, and also to have access to a mathematical representation to manipulate and analyze the system, prior to proceed to the control design step.
The equations of a quadricopter are extremely complex, involving together multibody mechanical systems, aerodynamics constraints, and synchronization constraints between the rotors.
The overall project took only one day to one of our application engineers, on this very complex system. In this example Maplesim has enabled to build the model in record times, and thanks to Maple very high end control systems have been designed, working directly on the analytical formulation, taking high advantage of a powerful symbolic engine, and advanced control design tools.
During this Web seminar we will demonstrate the model construction in Maplesim, and show the major design steps. This way you will see that with Maplesim and Maple your project times can literally shrink from months to days.
