RelativeAngleSensor

Ideal sensor to measure the relative angle between two splines.

This component computes the difference between the angle of spline_b (denoted ${\varphi }_b$) and the angle of spline_a(denoted $\phi_a$). This difference is provided as the output signalphi_rel. It models an ideal sensor, ensuring it does not influence the dynamics of the connected mechanical system. This is achieved by enforcing that the torque exerted onspline_a (denoted ${\tau }_a$) is zero. The governing equations are:

$$\begin{gathered} ph{i}_{rel}= \\ ph{i}_b- \\ ph{i}_a \end{gathered}$$$${\tau }_a=0$$

This component extends from PartialRelativeSensor

Usage

RelativeAngleSensor()

Connectors

• spline_a - (Spline)

• spline_b - (Spline)

• phi_rel - This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput)
