Kinematics and Kinetics Examples

Inverted double pendulum is a simple and classic example in the rigid body dynamics area. Solving this problem with Amesim will give students a basic understanding of how to apply the software to solve similar problems related to planar motion of rigid bodies.

Students will solve some textbook examples using Amesim and compare the results to the solutions that they derived by hand. After completing these examples and validating the results from the simulations, students will see the effectiveness of using this software.
