Self-balancing robot simulation

Hello, for my end-of-year project I am studying the self-balancing robot and to illustrate my words I made a small-scale model that I then modeled on solidworks (see photo). Not being a great professional of this software I would like to know if it was possible to set my system in motion.

That is to say that I would like to fix the rotation speed of the motor (the pivot link between the motor and the wheel) and study the torque exerted by the weight of the system at the level of the motors/wheels (pivot link) in order to show that the more inclined the system is, the greater the resisting torque due to the weight.

Because normally in the simulation we should see that if the structure is not vertical, i.e. for example with an angle of 45 degrees to the road, then the structure should fall vertically on the road. I hope I have succeeded in making myself understood.

Didn't hesitate to ask me a point that you wouldn't have understood.

Kind regards

Hello

Do you really need a simulation for this problem? What result do you want to achieve? A curve? What, according to what? The torque as a function of the inclination of the system at a given speed?

It seems to me that it must be a simple linear function, right?

you can also add the drag forces according to the speed...

 

The straightening torque according to the inclination is a silly story of a right triangle (therefore of trigo).

Indeed I would like to represent the torque as a function of the angle at a given speed. And indeed the function I have to obtain is torque=constant*sin(angle) and it is this curve that I can't get I tried to define an unknown motor force at the level of the wheel/motor link but to display this curve you have to do a dynamic  study on meca 3d but my system is hyperstatic and I tried to define in mechanical calculation some but the software tells me that hyperstatism is poorly defined.

After I've managed to draw this curve, I'll see to add the friction.

Hello, sorry but my neurons don't follow everything, in your topic you talk about Solidworks and then in a comment you talk about Mecha 3D. Do you work on the 2 in parallel???  

 

Kind regards

Meca3D is an option in solidworks that allows you to define the bonds/forces between parts.
