PrescribeInitialPosition

Sets the initial position of a translational mechanical flange.

This component is used to define the starting position for a one-dimensional translational mechanical system connected to its flange. It uses an initial equation to set the flange.s (position) to the specified parameter s0 at the very beginning of a simulation. During the simulation, the component exerts no force, as defined by the equation:

$$flange.f=0$$

The initial position is set using:

$$flange.s(0)=s0$$

Usage

TranslationalComponents.PrescribeInitialPosition(s0)

Parameters:

Name	Description	Units	Default value
s0	Prescribed initial position for the flange	m

Connectors

• flange - This connector represents a mechanical flange with position and force as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Flange)

Behavior

Sets the initial position of a translational mechanical flange.

This component is used to define the starting position for a one-dimensional translational mechanical system connected to its `flange`.
It uses an `initial equation` to set the `flange.s` (position) to the specified parameter `s0` at the very beginning of a simulation.
During the simulation, the component exerts no force, as defined by the equation:

math flange.f = 0

The initial position is set using:

math flange.s(0) = s0
