Dynamic Simulation with STL file (SOLIDWORKS)
Posted: 14 Dec 2019, 05:10
Hello,
I am currently working on simulating a cable binding robot on V-REP to evaluate its performance. It is a robot consisting of 5 different types of manipulators (cutter, gripper, hammer, tightener & roller) to complete the cable binding procedures, mainly controlled by DC motors and linear actuators.
I have successfully imported the STL files from SOLIDWORKS to V-REP separately into 5 different scenes for 5 manipulators. Now I am trying to assign the joints (Revolute & Prismatic) to the STL files on V-REP and am planning to control the dynamic simulation via Python and non-threaded child script.
I am new to V-REP and wish to seek for advise whether my above approaches are correct or not. Also, is it possible to simulate a steel cable which has the material properties of steel in V-REP as my main goal is to evaluate the performance of the robot to bind the steel cable?
