University project for "Basics of automation". Pendulum visual simulation along with its state applied on plots written in Python 2 using Vpython and Matplotlib packages. Given initial angle, its task is to reach the target angle in a finite amount of time.
- Python 2.7
- Vpython 6.11
- Matplotlib
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| end_time | Simulation duration |
| dt | Time step |
| initial_angle | Initial pendulum angle (-PI, PI) |
| target_angle | Target pendulum angle (0, PI) |
| damping | Pendulum damping |
| accuracy | Pendulum accuracy <1;--) |
| mass | Mass of ball |
| length | Length of rod |
| gravity | Gravity force |
Accuracy is proportional to the time needed to reach target angle [more accuracy = more time = more precise final angle].
| Variable name | Description |
|---|---|
| angle_list | list of angles |
| max_angle_list | list of maxiumum angles |
| velocity_list | list of velocities |
| additional_velocity_list | list of additional velocities |
| time_list | list of discrete time values |
