The Controlled Force generates a variable force between its two flanges. The direction of a positive force is indicated by the arrow. The momentary force is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.
Note An force source may not be left unconnected or connected in series with a spring or any other force source.
Parameter
- Second flange
- Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the translational reference frame.
Probe Signals
- Force
- The generated force, in Newton (N).
- Speed
- The speed of the flange that the arrow points to with respect to the other
flange, in
