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
