Physical Modeling of Offroad Vehicles with Simscape

 Using the example of an excavator, this overview shows how to use Simscape Multibody™ to create dynamic models of offroad vehicles from CAD models and how to use these dynamics models to simulate control systems, verify machine performance, and test the integration of hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical subsystems.

The presenter is Dr. Christoph Kammer, a senior application engineer at MathWorks in Switzerland. He supports customers in the robotics and autonomous systems domain in the areas of control and optimization, virtual scenario simulation, and digital twinning. Dr. Kammer has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from ETH Zürich and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from EPFL, where he specialized in control design and the control and modeling of electromechanical systems and power systems.
