I am currently working on developing a Stewart platform and have calculated the inverse kinematic. I’ve also created a Simscape Multibody simulation, utilizing revolute joints (driven by angle inputs), brick solids, and spherical joints. From this simulation, I extracted the joint torques necessary to drive the top platform based on a given input trajectory. This data has helped me select appropriate motors and spherical joints.
Now, I need to determine the forces and moments applied to the servo arms and couplers. My goal is to ensure that the servo arms do not twist and the couplers do not buckle under load. Could you advise on how I can calculate these forces and moments using MATLAB, or would it be more appropriate to use another tool for this analysis?
