Modeling a Gantry Robot

This project was promoted by the Supméca University in collaboration with Digital Product Simulation - DPS.
Designed a gantry robot, by using the co-simulation technique to analyze the positioning accuracy of the arm in the horizontal axe.
We created a model in Abaqus with two sensors that send the position and velocity of the arm to Dymola and then the model receives amplitude force from Dymola to move the arm in the desired position with less vibration.
