The 3 signals of the force connector contain force and torque.
The first and second signal are interpreted as the x- and y-coordinates of
a force and the third is torque, acting between two frame connectors
to which frame_a
and frame_b
are attached respectively.
Note that torque is a scalar quantity, which is exerted perpendicular
to the x-y plane.
Parameter resolveInFrame
defines in which frame the input
force shall be resolved.
Types.ResolveInFrameB. | Meaning |
---|---|
world | Resolve input force in world frame (= default) |
frame_a | Resolve input force in frame_a |
frame_b | Resolve input force in frame_b |
frame_resolve | Resolve input force in frame_resolve (frame_resolve must be connected) |
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the force coordinates shall be resolved in the frame, which is connected to frame_resolve.
