RelativePosition
Measure relative position vector between the origins of two frame connectors
Library
Modelica/Mechanics/MultiBody/Sensors
Description
The relative position vector between the origins of frame_a and frame_b aredetermined and provided at the output signal connector r_rel.
Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which framethe position vector is resolved:
| resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB. | Meaning |
|---|---|
| world | Resolve vector in world frame |
| frame_a | Resolve vector in frame_a |
| frame_b | Resolve vector in frame_b |
| frame_resolve | Resolve vector in frame_resolve |
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the conditional connector"frame_resolve" is enabled and r_rel is resolved in the frame, towhich frame_resolve is connected. Note, if this connector is enabled, it mustbe connected.
Example
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_a, the output vector iscomputed as:
r_rel = MultiBody.Frames.resolve2(frame_a.R, frame_b.r_0 - frame_a.r_0);
