� «Force [N]»«Torque [Nm]»
The linear force/torque source is selected. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical value,
a variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the value is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise the
value in the text box is used.
� «Time Controlled»
The time-controlled force/torque source is selected. In the list, select a time function and define
the corresponding parameters. See also “Using Time Functions” on page 275.
� In the list, select the sine, pulse, triangular, trapezoidal, saw-tooth rising, or saw-tooth falling
time function.
Linear Force/Torque Source
Ft () = VALUE
Mt () = VALUE
The force/torque is equivalent to the present value of the quantity specified in the input field.
Usually a constant value, a time function, or a variable are chosen, or the value is determined
in a state graph. All system quantities and variables can be combined with mathematical and
logical operators and constants.
The position of an ideal force/torque source can be arbitrary. Real flow sources have always
an internal resistance. If the internal resistance is essential for the simulation target, a corresponding
resistance must be connected in parallel.
