Abstract
The use of Mathematica in combination with MathCode C++ is illustrated
in a context of modeling of dynamical systems and design of controllers.
The symbolic tools are used to derive a set of nonlinear differential equations
using Euler-Lagrange equations of motion. The model is converted to C++
using MathCode C++, which produces an efficient implementation of the large
expressions used in the model. The exported code is used for simulations,
which illustrates that Mathematica in combination with MathCode C++ can
be used to do accurate and powerful simulations of nonlinear systems. Controller
synthesis is performed where the resulting controller is exported to C++
and run externally. The applications presented are a seesaw/pendulum process
and aerodynamics of a fighter aircraft.
