Hi everybody...
I've modelized a system purely mechanical which should have two stable states: a rod inside a well under the effects of the gravity. If the rod is placed totally vertical no motion is observed, but with a little rotation respect the basis of the rod it should fall with a certain angular velocity depending on the inertial momenta.
In the file I try to see the temporal behaviour specting what I have already said, but something is not working.
I will be very grateful if someone tell me what I'm doing wrong
Thanks!
Miquel
