Description

This component is used to exert a line force between the origin of frame_a (left) and the origin of frame_b (right) by attaching components of the 1-dimensional translational mechanical palette (Mechanics/Translational) between the two flange connectors flange_a (top left) and flange_b (top right).

Note, this this component has neither mass nor inertia.

Parameters

    LineForce_0

  • s_small [m] : Prevent zero-division if distance between frame_a and frame_b is zero (s_small): Scalar.

Ports

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