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

The cut-force acting between the two frames to which this model is connected, is determined and provided at the output signal connector force (= frame_a.f). If parameter positiveSign = false, the negative cut-force is provided (= frame_b.f).

Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which frame the force vector is resolved:

resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameA.	Meaning
world	Resolve vector in world frame
frame_a	Resolve vector in frame_a
frame_resolve	Resolve vector in frame_resolve

If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the conditional connector "frame_resolve" is enabled and output force is resolved in the frame, to which frame_resolve is connected. Note, if this connector is enabled, it must be connected.

In the following figure the animation of a CutForce sensor is shown. The dark blue coordinate system is frame_b, and the green arrow is the cut force acting at frame_b and with negative sign at frame_a.

resolveInFrame	Value: Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Types.ResolveInFrameA.frame_a Type: ResolveInFrameA Description: Frame in which output vector(s) is/are resolved (world, frame_a, or frame_resolve)
animation	Value: true Type: Boolean Description: = true, if animation shall be enabled (show arrow)
positiveSign	Value: true Type: Boolean Description: = true, if force with positive sign is returned (= frame_a.f), otherwise with negative sign (= frame_b.f)

forceColor	Default Value: Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Types.Defaults.ForceColor Type: Color Description: Color of force arrow
specularCoefficient	Default Value: world.defaultSpecularCoefficient Type: SpecularCoefficient Description: Reflection of ambient light (= 0: light is completely absorbed)
