modelRelativePosition

Measure relative position and orientation between the origins of two frame connectors

Extends from Internal.PartialRelativeSensor (Partial relative sensor model for sensors defined by components).

Information

The relative position and angle vector [x y φ] between the origins of frame_a and of frame_b are determined and provided at the output signal connector r_rel.

Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which frame the position vector is resolved.

Options of parameter resolveInFrame
resolveInFrame = … Output vector resolved in
Types.ResolveInFrameAB.world world frame
Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_a frame_a
Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_b frame_b
Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve frame_resolve (must be connected)

If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the conditional connector frame_resolve is enabled and r_rel is resolved in the frame, to which frame_resolve is connected. Note, if this connector is enabled, it must be connected.

Example: If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the output vector is computed as:

r_rel = transpose([cos(frame_resolve.phi), -sin(frame_resolve.phi), 0; sin(frame_resolve.phi),cos(frame_resolve.phi), 0;0,0,1]) * [frame_b.x - frame_a.x;frame_b.y - frame_a.y;frame_b.phi - frame_a.phi]
