My superiors would like me to make a VRML version of my
the robotics device I designed in Pro/E so we can
simulate its use by driving the VRML model through
MAtlab/Simulink connected to hardware input devices
through pc i/o boards.
However, I was wondering if we could skip the duplication
of my CAD model in VRML, instead just directly driving
the Pro/E model itself through interfacing with
Matlab/Simulink somehow.
The VRML step just seems superfluous to me. It's not as
if Pro/E isn't conscious of things like joint angle
positions.
Is it really necessary to use VRML for something like
this? COuld someone give me basic idea or point me to
place to read about how to just directly drive mechanisms
in Pro/E with Matlab/Simulink in real time?
