Force

External force acting on a drive train element as input signal

Information

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

The input signal "f" in [N] characterizes an external force which acts (with positive sign) at a flange, i.e., the component connected to the flange is driven by force f.

Input signal f can be provided from one of the signal generator blocks of Modelica.Blocks.Source.
