RollingWheelSet

Joint (no mass, no inertia) that describes an ideal rolling wheel set (two ideal rolling wheels connected together by an axis)

Diagram

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

An assembly joint for a wheelset rolling on the x-y plane of the world frame. The frames frame1 and frame2 are connected to rotating wheels; the frameMiddle moves in a plane parallel to the x-y plane of the world and should be connected to the vehicle body.

Note

To work properly, the gravity acceleration vector g of the world must point in the negative z-axis, i.e.

inner Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.World world(n={0,0,-1});
