I have a code for showing the animation of a pendulum that works fine.
Now i want to also plot the pendulums position simultaneously. But it isnt working.
Here is my code:
% Program 6.3 Animation program for pendulum using IVP solver
% Inputs: int = [a b] time interval,
% initial values ic = [y(1,1) y(1,2)], h = step size
% Calls a one-step method such as trapstep.m
% Example usage: pend([0 10],[pi/2 0],.05)
function pend2(int,ic,h,l)
n=round((int(2)-int(1))/h); % plot n points in total
y(1,:)=ic; % enter initial conds in y
t(1)=int(1);
clf; % clear screen
subplot(2,1,1);
x(1)=1
axis([0 200 -2 2])
set(gca,'xlim',[-2.2 2.2],'ylim',[-2.2 2.2], ...
'xtick',[-2 -1 0 1 2],'ytick',[-2 -1 0 1 2], ...
'drawmode','fast','Visible','on','NextPlot','add');
plot(0,0,'ks'); % pivot where rod attached
axis square % make aspect ratio 1 - 1
bob = line('color','r','Marker','.','markersize',40,...
'erase','xor','xdata',[],'ydata',[]);
rod = line('color','b','LineStyle','-','LineWidth',3,...
'erase','xor','xdata',[],'ydata',[]);
for k=1:n
x(1,k+1)=x(1,k)+1;
t(k+1)=t(k)+h;
y(k+1,:)=trapstep(t(k),y(k,:),h,l);
xbob = l*cos(y(k+1,1)-pi/2); ybob = l*sin(y(k+1,1)-pi/2);
xrod = [0 xbob]; yrod = [0 ybob];
set(rod,'xdata',xrod,'ydata',yrod)
set(bob,'xdata',xbob,'ydata',ybob)
subplot(2,1,2);
addpoints(animatedline,x(1,k),y(k,1));
drawnow;
pause(h)
end
function y = trapstep(t,x,h,l)
%one step of the Trapezoid Method
z1=ydot(t,x,l);
g=x+h*z1;
z2=ydot(t+h,g,l);
y=x+h*(z1+z2)/2;
function z=ydot(t,y,l)
g=9.81;m=10;c=4.5;
z(1) = y(2);
z(2) = -(g/l)*sin(y(1)) -(c/m)*y(2);
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks!
The problem is this line:
addpoints(animatedline,x(1,k),y(k,1));
It creates a new animatedline everytime it is called.
Enter the following before the for-loop
ax = subplot(2,1,2);
hdl = animatedline;
ax.XLim = [0 200];
ax.YLim = [-2 2];
and change the line mentioned above to
addpoints(hdl,x(1,k),y(k,1));
