RelativeForce
Input signal acting as force and torque on two frames
Library
PlanarMechanics/Sources
Description
The 3 signals of the force connector contain force and torque.The first and second signal are interpreted as the x- and y-coordinates ofa force and the third is torque, acting between two frame connectorsto which frame_a and frame_b are attached respectively.Note that torque is a scalar quantity, which is exerted perpendicularto the x-y plane.
Parameter resolveInFrame defines in which frame the inputforce shall be resolved.
| Types.ResolveInFrameB. | Meaning |
|---|---|
| world | Resolve input force in world frame (= default) |
| frame_a | Resolve input force in frame_a |
| frame_b | Resolve input force in frame_b |
| frame_resolve | Resolve input force in frame_resolve (frame_resolve must be connected) |
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve,the force coordinates shall be resolved in the frame, which isconnected to frame_resolve.
