Direction of the prismatic joint is determined by r[2],
which is a vector pointing from frame_a to
frame_b.
Optionally, two additional one-dimensional mechanical flanges (flange
flange_a represents the driving flange and flange
support represents the bearing) can be enabled via
parameter useFlange. The enabled flange_a
flange can be driven with elements of the
Modelica.Mechanics.Translational
library.
In the "Initialization" block, elongation s
of the joint, velocity of elongation v as well as
acceleration of elongation a can be initialized.
It can be defined via parameter (in "Advanced" tab)
stateSelect that the relative distance s
and its derivative shall be definitely used as states by setting
stateSelect = StateSelect.always.
In "Animation" group, animation parameters for this model can be set,
where zPosition represents the model's position along
the z axis in 3D animation. Some of the values can be preset
by an outer PlanarWorld
model.
