Force sensor





| C |
in the palette on the schematic

The block is designed to read the force transmitted from the blocks connected to the "R" port to the body connected to the "C" port. If several blocks are connected to the "R" port, the sensor detects the total force coming from all connected blocks. Changing the direction of the force reference (its sign) and changing the sides of the ports are available in the block properties.

Inputs

Name Description Connection line type
C Port for connecting a conditionally fixed case (case) Translatory mechanics

Outputs

Name Description Connection line type
R Port for connecting a conditionally movable rod (rod) Translatory mechanics
F Total force Mathematical
Q Mechanical power of the total force. The port is available when the "Send the power to the port" property is activated Mathematical

Properties

Title Parameter Description By default Data type
Reference direction Dir Allows you to change the sign of the read force. The possible values are: “Port C to port R", "Port R to port C" From port R to port C Перечисление
Change sides of C and R ports ChangePortSide Allows you to change the location of ports "C" and "R" to the opposite None Двоичное
Send the power to the port QOutPort Allows outputting the power value to the output port "Q" None Двоичное

Parameters

Name Parameter Description Data type
Force, N F Total force Вещественное
Power, W Q Mechanical power of the total force Вещественное
