A custom-built Simulink program for simulating six-degree-of-freedom motion equations, designed to analyze object dynamics in 3D space with configurable initial conditions and external torque inputs.

Detailed Documentation

This article features a custom Simulink program developed to simulate motion using six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) equations. The program calculates an object's positional and attitudinal changes in 3D space by processing initial conditions and external torque inputs. It employs a rigid-body dynamics algorithm that integrates Newton-Euler equations to model translational and rotational movements across all six degrees of freedom. Developed through extensive research on 6-DoF theory and Simulink's modular programming environment, the implementation ensures accuracy through subsystem blocks for coordinate transformations, torque calculations, and numerical integration (e.g., ODE solvers). This program serves as a foundational tool for analyzing complex motion behaviors, enabling detailed studies of dynamics for future research and practical applications.
