Algorithm (Workflow)
This algorithm is designed to move a Solid Geometry (SG) in a SimMechanics model without altering its structure. The function smbSGtransP takes two input parameters: SGName and delta.
Input Parameters
- SGName: The name of the solid that contains both a Baseframe and a Follower Frame.
- delta: A vector representing the translation offset to be applied to the SG.
Algorithm Steps
- Retrieve the current Simulink model using
find_system(gcs), which returns all blocks in the current system.
- Identify the block associated with the Baseframe of the SG by searching for
SGName.B in the list of blocks.
- Get the current translation offset of the Baseframe using
get_param with the parameter 'TranslationCartesianOffset'.
- Convert the retrieved offset from a string to a numeric vector using
str2num.
- Add the
delta vector to the current offset to compute the new position.
- Format the new position as a string using
sprintf and update the block's parameter with set_param.
- Repeat steps 2-6 for the Follower Frame by searching for
SGName.F.
