Calculate moments and forces on a quadcopter with Matlab

Hello All,

I need for the creation of a FEM model of my quadrocopter frame the moments & forces on my frame.

Does anyone know if there is already a ready toolbox in Matlab where I enter the motor data, propeller size, etc. and I am given the forces and moments?

I am looking forward to your answers and thank you in advance!

Many greetings & many thanks!

Hello Younes,

There is currently no direct feature that automates the force and moment computation. There is however an example that has a Simulink Model for a quadrotor which computes the forces and moments for you.

Aerodynamic Parameter Estimation Using Flight Log Data

Please open the PlantModel subsystem inside "UAVQuadDynamics.slx".

You are also provided the equations used by the example at the bottom in the Appendix section.

Kind Regards,

Vedant
