PrescribeInitialEquilibrium

Sets the initial velocity and acceleration of a connected flange to zero.

This component is used to define an initial equilibrium state for a mechanical system connected via its flange. It ensures that at the beginning of the simulation, the velocity v and acceleration a of the connected element are both zero. This is achieved through the equations:

$$\begin{array}{rl}v(0)& =0\\ a(0)& =0\end{array}$$

Additionally, the component ensures that the force flange.f at the connection point is zero. The velocity and acceleration are locally defined as derivatives of the flange's position s:

$$v=\frac{d(\text{flange.s})}{dt}$$$$a=\frac{dv}{dt}$$

This effectively means that the connected mechanical component starts from a standstill with no initial forces applied through this specific constraint.

Sets the initial velocity and acceleration of a connected flange to zero.

This component is used to define an initial equilibrium state for a mechanical
system connected via its `flange`. It ensures that at the beginning of the
simulation, the velocity `v` and acceleration `a` of the connected element
are both zero. This is achieved through the equations:

math \begin{align_} v(0) &= 0 MarkdownAST.LineBreak()

a(0) &= 0 \end

Additionally, the component ensures that the force `flange.f` at the connection
point is zero. The velocity and acceleration are locally defined as derivatives
of the flange's position `s`:

math v = \frac{d(\text{flange.s})}

math a = \frac{dv}

This effectively means that the connected mechanical component starts from a
standstill with no initial forces applied through this specific constraint.
