Position-based force and velocity source and actuator blocks

This library contains position-based force and velocity sources and actuators. For information on how to connect physical signal inputs of these blocks to Simulink® sources or other Simulink blocks, see Connecting Simscape Diagrams to Simulink Sources and Scopes.

Simscape Blocks

External Force Source (PB) blockExternal Force Source (PB)Ideal source of mechanical energy that generates force proportional to the input signal (Since R2024b)
External Translational Velocity Source (PB) blockExternal Translational Velocity Source (PB)Ideal source of mechanical energy that generates velocity proportional to the input signal (Since R2024b)
Force Actuator (PB) blockForce Actuator (PB)Ideal force actuator, with length, that generates force proportional to the input signal (Since R2024b)
Length Actuator (PB) blockLength Actuator (PB)Ideal actuator that maintains length proportional to the input signal (Since R2024b)
Translational Velocity Actuator (PB) blockTranslational Velocity Actuator (PB)Ideal velocity actuator, with length, that maintains velocity proportional to the input signal (Since R2024b)
