Purpose
Maintain constant translational speed

Description
The Constant Translational Speed maintains a constant linear speed between its two flanges regardless of the force required. The speed is considered positive at the flange marked with a "+".
Note A speed source may not be short-circuited or connected in parallel with other speed sources, nor may a speed source directly drive a mass.
Parameters
- Second flange
- Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the translational reference frame.
- Speed
- The magnitude of the speed, in
. The default value is 1.
Probe Signals
- Force
- The generated force flowing from the unmarked flange to the marked flange, in Newton (N).
- Speed
- The speed, in
.
