Estimating Bouncing Ball Contact Parameters

This video shows a workflow to find the optimal contact parameters that can simulate a realistic behavior of a bouncing or a colliding ball. Initially, Veer tracks the real trajectory of a bouncing ball from a video file. Then, he replicates the bouncing ball model using Simscape Multibody. Further, he uses Parameter Estimation to find the contact parameters of the Spatial Contact Force blocks. Finally, he shows how you can create a customized realistic scenario by feeding the obtained contact parameter values in the Spatial Contact Force blocks.
