The subject of creation of simulation and mathematical models is nowadays more and more current and its application is in almost every aspect of life. The article deals with compiling a mathematical model of a pivoting arm using Lagrange equations of the second kind. Subsequently, the model will be created in the simulation program Matlab/Simulink. The simulation model will as well be assembled in the program Adams. The results of these simulations will be compared in the conclusion. This article presents a procedure for resolving a mechanical system from the beginning, from creation of a mathematical model through creation of a simulation model up to evaluation of the simulation results. This paper presents a procedure for resolving mechanical system from the beginning. Thus, it is done by creating a mathematical model through the creation of a simulation model to evaluate the results of the simulation. According to these simulations will produce a working model of the manipulator, which could be used for teaching purposes.
