Aileron Model in Simscape
- 35 files
- 2264 downloads
This file contains an aileron actuator model that can be used to develop mechanical designs, determine actuator requirements, compare electrical and hydraulic designs, and design the control system. A number of intermediate models are also included to show you the incremental steps of developing this system. MATLAB scripts show many steps, including optimizing the design, automatically producing reports, and generating C Code. The model is built using Simscape, Simscape Multibody, Simscape Fluids, and Simscape Electrical.
Please read the README.txt file to get started.

Hi Steve, really good job!
i am new here, could you please tell me how to find an older version model?

The Aileron Picture is not shown on display when I try to open the component file.
How can I put it in my Simscape library?

Hi Vatea - there are theoretical and data-based calculations for the drag of an airfoil. I would use one of those to calculate the drag force and apply it using an External Force and Torque block in Simscape Multibody.

Hi Steve,
You did really great in modeling the aileron actuation.
Now how would you model the hydro/aerodynamic effects acting upon this aileron?
