Translational Speed (Constant)

Purpose

Maintain constant translational speed

Mechanical / Translational / Sources

Description

pict

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 m-
 s  . 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 m-
 s  .
