+# Mathematical modelling and virtual decomposition control of heavy-duty parallel-serial manipulators
+The repository contains Simulink model and MATLAB code for the real-world hydraulic manipulator forces simulation, based on the approach proposed in the article:
+
+https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2021.104680
+
+The code is such that enables easy parametrization and consequently easy code generation for running on a hardware target.
+
+# Requirements
+The simulation is performed in MATLAB/Simulink. Simulink Simscape Multibody Add-On libraries are required and MATLAB version 2020a or newer.
+
+# Usage
+Make the main folder as a working folder and run 'initializeSimulationGP.m' for the simulation initialization. Afterwards, run 'SimForcesGP2020a.slx' or 'SimForces2022a.slx'.
