Description
The External Angular Velocity Source (AB) block represents an ideal external angular velocity source that maintains a specified angular velocity regardless of the load at the connected port.
Port R is an angle-based rotational conserving port. Specify the angular velocity at physical signal port S. A positive signal at port S applies a positive angular velocity on the network at port R.
The block logs the variable t, which represents the torque applied at
port R to generate the specified velocity. A positive torque corresponds
to acceleration in the positive direction. For more information, see Data Logging.
Examples
Interpreting Torque in the Angle-Based Rotational Domain
Describes how to interpret torques in a Simscape™ angle-based rotational network. It outlines the key concepts for understanding the signs of logged torques. It examines rotational spring systems driven by torque sources at different ends, as well as a rotational system of inertias, to illustrate the torque behavior.
