SensorsTest ​

Test environment for verifying absolute position, speed, and acceleration sensors monitoring a mass driven by a constant force.

This test component simulates a one-dimensional translational mechanical system to validate the behavior of absolute sensors. A mass (body) is subjected to a constant force (force, driven by constant1). One side of the force element is connected to a fixed point (ground), and the other side acts on the mass. The sensors (position_sensor, speed_sensor, acceleration_sensor) are then attached to this mass to measure its absolute position, speed, and acceleration, respectively. The metadata section includes a test case that checks if the sensor outputs match these expected dynamics.

Test environment for verifying absolute position, speed, and acceleration sensors monitoring a mass driven by a constant force.

This test component simulates a one-dimensional translational mechanical system to validate the behavior of absolute sensors.
A mass (`body`) is subjected to a constant force (`force`, driven by `constant1`). One side of the force element is connected to
a fixed point (`ground`), and the other side acts on the mass. The sensors (`position_sensor`, `speed_sensor`, `acceleration_sensor`)
are then attached to this mass to measure its absolute position, speed, and acceleration, respectively.
The `metadata` section includes a test case that checks if the sensor outputs match these expected dynamics.
