Modeling a position servo

Discussion in 'Modeling' started by Xie123, Dec 12, 2018.

  1. The actuation model given in the documentation is affine in form, generating a scalar force. There is the option of using "actuator shortcuts", where a position servo can be specified with attribute kp as the servo gain. I was wondering how I might model the time constant properties of the servo if I'm trying realistically model the motor? For instance if I wanted to model the servo motors as a simple second order system, is it possible? How would I do that?
