A Mixed symbolic-numeric software environmenrnt and its application to control systems engineering
Résumé
A high-level interactive symbolic-numeric software environment based on the symbolic computer algebra system Maple, its extension Macrofort and the high performance scientific software package y lab. is presented. This general purpose software environment can be used both for solving specific problems and for developing specialized software packages. We shall illustrate this latter application by developing a simple software package for the simulation and control of multibody mechanical systems. As an example, simulation and control of a bicycle are presented.
