user_LinkForces module

Module for the definition of user links forces.

user_LinkForces.user_LinkForces(Z, Zd, mbs_data, tsim, identity)

Compute the force in the given link.

Parameters
  • Z (float) – The distance between the two anchor points of the link.

  • Zd (float) – The relative velocity between the two anchor points of the link.

  • mbs_data (MBsysPy.MbsData) – The multibody system associated to this computation.

  • tsim (float) – The current time of the simulation.

  • identity (int) – The identity of the computed link.

Returns

Flink – The force in the current link.

Return type

float
