Hello all,
I am building a bicycle on Simscape. The tyres are connected to axles which in turn are connected to the bicycle frame, and I used a revolute joint to connect the tyre and the axle (as shown in the picture below). I would like my tyres to only turn in one direction (clockwise) but it always turn in both senses when I simulate it. I saw another post saying that we needed to put a Rigid Transform before and after the Revolute joint to change its direction and I tried it but it didn’t work (the only thing it did was make the tyre go clockwise or counter-clockwise at first depending on the rotation parameters of the joint, but the tyre still kept going both senses).
Could someone help me on this matter please? I am still new to Matlab and Simscape and I am learning new things and how to use it as I progress in my project, but that problem has kept me stuck for quite some time now.
Thank you very much.
Here is a screenshot of the model built with Simscape Multibody. I apologize for the the way it looks as it is quite messy but I hope you can still understand it.Hello all,
