Analysis of controlled mechanism with significant nonlinearities

Solving inverted pendulum by co-simulation between multi-body solver MotionSolve and signal processing control in solidThinking Activate. The simulation of inverted pendulum uses an innovative model of friction which is physically and mathematically more accurate than usual CAE friction models. This model of friction adds nonlinearity to the system. Two types of controlling mechanism for active balancing of inverted pendulum are used: PID and ANN controller. A non-traditional false angular deviation approach for returning a cart to its initial position was used.
