Force

Input signal acting as force on two flanges

The input signal to this component is the force imposed by the component. A positive value for the input signal represents the transfer of a positive linear momentum from flange_a to flange_b. In other words, a positive value will act to increase the linear momentum of whatever is connected atflangeband decrease the linear momentum of whatever is connected atflangea`.

This component extends from PartialTwoFlanges

Usage

Force()

Connectors

  • flange_a - (Flange)
  • flange_b - (Flange)
  • f - This connector represents a real signal as an input to a component (RealInput)

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{flange\_a.f}\left( t \right) &= f\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{flange\_b.f}\left( t \right) &= - f\left( t \right) \end{align} \]
