Putting the physics simulation into operation in MOVIKIT® MultiMotion

Perform the following steps for all lower-level axes in MOVIKIT® MultiMotion. The pertinent configuration menu is described in detail in chapter Physics (MOVIKIT® MultiMotion).

  1. Open the configuration for MOVIKIT® MultiMotion.
  2. In the "Basic settings" configuration menu, activate "MOVIKIT® Robotics" in the "Higher-level MOVIKIT®" section.
    • The Physics configuration menu will be displayed for MOVIKIT® MultiMotion.
  3. Open the "Physics" configuration menu.
  4. In the "Basic settings" configuration menu, activate the "Activate collision detection" option under "Functions used".
    • The "Drive train" and "Collision detection" submenus are displayed.
  5. Configure the inertia and gear ratios of the drive train in the "Drive train" submenu in the "Motor" and "Scaling" sections.
  6. Measure the friction in the system. For realistic measurement, see Systematically measuring friction.
  7. Enter the results of the measurement in the corresponding configuration fields in the "Friction" section.
