Modeling and simulation for science and education
20-sim is an excellent tool for teaching and doing research that involves modeling and simulation:
- Physical properties like inertia, stiffness of friction using the Mechanics library.
- System dynamics using the Frequency Domain.
- Control systems design using Controller Design.
- Model hydraulic systems using the components of the Hydraulics library.
- Model electric drives using the components of the Electronics library.
- Modeling sensors and signal conversion using the Signals library.
- Visualize results using 3D animation.
- Export models as C-code and test them on embedded hardware.

Example: Robot Walking
At the Control Engineering group of the University of Twente a lot of research is spent on various types of robots. This paper describes the work on the design and construction of Dribbel, a passive dynamic walking robot. Dribbel is a ‘2D-biped’: he can not fall sideways because four legs in a row are used (comparable to a person walking on crutches). This construction is chosen to focus on the forward motion, without having to solve the complex 3D stabilization.
