Featured Examples

Force Flow in the Position-Based Translational Domain

Describes how to interpret forces in a Simscape™ position-based mechanical translational network. The example summarizes rules for interpreting the signs of logged forces and then considers forces in three types of systems: springs being pulled or pushed from different ends, simple systems with external forces applied at a mid-point, and a more complex system with an external force applied at the mid-point.

Hard Stops in the Position-Based Translational Domain

Configure Translational Hard Stop (PB) blocks in several simple position-based mechanical translational models and interpret the model behavior. This example describes how to model systems with upper and lower bounds, choose a hard stop model parameterization, set initial targets for variables, and interpret the logged forces.

Rope Pull In the Position-Based Translational Domain

A force pulling on the end of a cable or rope that has a large load on its other end. The rope is modeled with distributed mass and elasticity using Mass With Length (PB), Translational Spring (PB), and Translational Damper (PB) blocks. When the force increases from 0 N to 1,000 N, it excites longitudinal vibrations in the rope.
