Hello everyone,I have a simple mechanism modeled in Simscape. A revolute joint rotating around z axis and a simple bar connected to it.I am applying a position as the motion input of the joint and the torque is being automatically computed.
I'm trying to sense the forces(fx and fy) that the revolute joint is applying to the bar using the "Total force" option in the "composite force/torque sensor" of the revolute joint block. The problem is I'm always getting the weight of the bar as fy and fx is always zero whereas according to the equations there should be a change in fx and fy based on the acceleration of the bar.
I tried giving different position profiles just to make sure it isn't a problem of zero acceleration on x axis but I keep getting fx=0 and fy=mg. Is there something wrong with my simulation or there is another way for computing these forces? I would really appreciate the help.
