CutForce
Measure cut force vector
Library
PlanarMechanics/Sensors
Description
The cut-force acting between the two frames to which this modelis connected, is determined and provided at the output signalconnector force (= frame_a.f).If parameter positiveSign = false, the negativecut-force is provided (= frame_b.f).
Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which framethe force vector is resolved.
| resolveInFrame = … | Output vector resolved in |
|---|---|
| Types.ResolveInFrameAB.world | world frame |
| Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_a | frame_a |
| Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_b | frame_b |
| Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve | frame_resolve (must be connected) |
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve,the conditional connector frame_resolve is enabled andoutput force is resolved in the frame, to whichframe_resolve is connected.Note, if this connector is enabled, it must be connected.
In the following figure the modeling and animation of thissensor is shown.
