To make an object fall in MATLAB, you need to use a physics engine or a simulation toolbox. One popular toolbox for physics simulation is the Robotics Toolbox by Peter Corke.
Here is an example of simulating a falling object using the Robotics Toolbox:
main.m870 chars25 lines
This code simulates a rigid body falling due to gravity, starting at an initial height h0
. The object is represented by a rigidBody
object, and the simulation is performed using the ode45
function. The simulation results are then visualized using the visualize
method of the RigidBodyManipulator
class.
Note that this is just one example of how to simulate a falling object in MATLAB using a physics engine or simulation toolbox. depending on the requirements and level of detail, other methods or toolboxes may be more suitable.
