Yes that worked, I completely spaced on running the setup first. Thank you! --Chris

Hi Christopher - I just downloaded the zip file and tested it and it worked fine. Did you run startup_sm_ssci first? That script builds forcesPS_lib.slx --Steve

Hello, I am running into an error for an unresolved library link for the 2017b Example, Joint Limits and Friction Methods in a Hinge. For both of the Joint Actuation and Transform Sensor parts to this example, neither of the Friction or Hard Stop blocks work, and instead display the message: "Cannot find library called 'forcesPS_lib'.". I was really hoping to use these blocks for my project, and I would be very delighted if I could receive some assistance with this matter. --Chris

Hi Abdullah - can you email me directly with the steps you ran that produced this error? Don't post the steps here, it will be confusing for others. I cannot reproduce this error. --Steve
Abdullah Al-Azzawi (view profile)
Hi Steve,
I've got this warning while adding he library, I'm using Matlab R2017b btw.
"Warning: Function power has the same name as a MATLAB builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict. "
any ideas please ?
Regards

Hello Steve!
Could you please send me the Multibody Multiphysics library for matlab R2019b?
My email: runi8770@gmail.com
Thank you!
Please Steve, I am a university student, and this version is not required, you will help me, please.

Hello Steve!
Could you please send me the Multibody Multiphysics library for matlab R2015a?
My email: marcosrobein@gmail.com
Thank you!

I have 2019a. The startup file only opens up matlab and doesnt download. why is this?
Chaitanya Nawale (view profile)
Hi Steve, Would it be possible to please send me the version for MATLAB 2016a? My email is chaitanya6.nawale@gmail.com......Thank you so much....

Sorry typo on the email... Dear Steve, this library looks great. Would it be possible to please send me the version for MATLAB 2015a? My email is hgmarques@gmail.com. Thank you so much.
Don Yeo (view profile)
@steve - okay, it's working now. Thank you!
Steve Miller (view profile)
@Don Yeo - did you run startup_sm_ssci.m first? You have to run that before opening the examples, as it adds the library to the path.
Don Yeo (view profile)
Hi, I am unable to run the examples as the error message shown was unable to find the forcesPS_library. Can anybody assist me on this please? Thank you.

@Elisa - custom joints can be created by chaining joints together, as long as the set of joints does not create a degree of freedom with no inertia that can rotate/translate freely with no inertia. This library would help you add custom forces to a joint, to create something like bushings in your car (permit some movement, but not completely free).
bing liu (view profile)
Elisa Panero (view profile)
do you think that with the support of this library/interface I could create a custom joint from my own?
Why I cannot look at the source code of multibody blocks (for example joints)?
thank in advance

Very detailed and contains multi domain simulation. Good pacakge

Really helpful. Thanks
Toby (view profile)
This is really helpful! I'm surprised this functionality is so hard to find, and not included in the SimScape Library.

Sorry found it

Cylinder_Lift/Translational Simscape Intf'. I get an error saying failing to load that. Where can I download that from?
