I have been looking for software to help me model a tensegrity structure, I have a MATLAB code ready but I need something with a more 3D physics model. Is it possible to use it and does anyone has any recommendation for it? Thank you in advance.
Dear friend Mariana Salazar
Yes, it is possible to use COMSOL Multiphysics to model a tensegrity structure. COMSOL Multiphysics is a powerful software for modeling and simulating various physical phenomena in three dimensions. You can use the Structural Mechanics Module to model and analyze the mechanical behavior of tensegrity structures.
To model a tensegrity structure in COMSOL Multiphysics, you will need to define the geometrical configuration of the structure, the mechanical properties of the materials used, and the boundary conditions. You can also apply loads and constraints to the structure and analyze the deformation and stress distribution.
There are several resources available online that can help you get started with modeling a tensegrity structure in COMSOL Multiphysics. The COMSOL website provides a number of tutorials and examples that cover various aspects of structural mechanics modeling, and there are also several video tutorials available on YouTube that demonstrate how to model tensegrity structures using COMSOL Multiphysics.
Additionally, you may consider consulting with a COMSOL certified consultant who can provide expert advice and guidance on how to model your specific tensegrity structure.
Thank you, Kaushik Shandilya, for your information I will search for resources to help my project!
