Description

The Sinusoidal Force Source block produces sinusoidal force with a constant offset. A positive force value generates force acting from port B to port F.

The defining equation for the sinusoidal force that the block generates is

F=Fo+A*sin(2πft+φ),

where:

  • F is the output force.

  • Fo is the offset force of the output.

  • A is the peak amplitude of the sinusoid.

  • f is frequency of the sinusoid in Hz.

  • t is time.

  • φ is phase shift of the sinusoid.
