Forced movement of a flange according to an acceleration signal

Mechanics/Translational/Sources

Description

The input signal a_ref (left) in [m/s2] moves the 1D translational flange connector flange_b (right) with a predefined acceleration, i.e., the flange is forced to move relative to the support connector (bottom) with this acceleration. The velocity and the position of the flange are also predefined and are determined by integration of the acceleration.

The input signal can be provided from one of the signal generator blocks of the Blocks/Sources palette.

Ports

  • Port 1 at left position: implicit input fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at right position: implicit output fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at bottom position: implicit output fixedport numbered 2.
