modelCutForceAndTorque

Obsolete model. Use instead Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Sensors.CutForceAndTorque

Extends from ObsoleteModelica3.Mechanics.MultiBody.Interfaces.PartialCutForceSensor.

Information

The cut-force and cut-torque acting at the component to which frame_b is connected are determined and provided at the output signal connector load:

  load[1:3] = frame_a.f;
  load[4:6] = frame_a.t;

If parameter positiveSign = false, the negative cut-force and negative cut-torque is provided (= frame_b.f and frame_b.t). If frame_resolve is connected to another frame, then the cut-force and cut-torque are resolved in frame_resolve. If frame_resolve is not connected then the coordinate system in which the cut-force and cut-torque is resolved is defined by parameter resolveInFrame_a. If this parameter is true, then the cut-force and cut-torque is resolved in frame_a, otherwise it is resolved in the world frame.

In the following figure the animation of a CutForceAndTorque sensor is shown. The dark blue coordinate system is frame_b, and the green arrows are the cut force and the cut torque, respectively, acting at frame_b and with negative sign at frame_a.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Booleananimationtrue= true, if animation shall be enabled (show force and torque arrow)
BooleanpositiveSigntrue= true, if force and torque with positive sign is returned (= frame_a.f/.t), otherwise with negative sign (= frame_b.f/.t)
BooleanresolveInFrame_atrue= true, if force and torque are resolved in frame_a/frame_b, otherwise in the world frame (if connector frame_resolve is connected, the force/torque is resolved in frame_resolve)
