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

This basic sensor is aimed to be used within advanced sensors where the relative angular velocity between frame_a and frame_b should be determined. This vector is provided at the output signal connector w_rel.

Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which frame the angular velocity is resolved:

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

In this basic sensor model, the connector frame_resolve is always enabled and must be connected. If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the vector w_rel is resolved in the frame to which frame_resolve is connected.

Example

If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_a, the output vector is computed as:

// Relative orientation object from frame_a to frame_b
R_rel = MultiBody.Frames.relativeRotation(frame_a.R, frame_b.R);

// Angular velocity resolved in frame_a
w_rel = MultiBody.Frames.angularVelocity1(R_rel);

resolveInFrame	Value: Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_a Type: ResolveInFrameAB Description: Frame in which output vector w_rel is resolved (world, frame_a, frame_b, or frame_resolve)
