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

PrescribeInitialPosition(s0)

Parameters:

Connectors

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

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{flange.f}\left( t \right) &= 0 \end{align} \]
