-
In the tree, under the mechanism representation node,
select the command to drive with the excitation.
Depending on the command you selected, Length
formula or Angle formula appears in the
Law Excitation dialog box.
-
Specify a name for the excitation.
-
To define the excitation using a formula, do one of the following:
- Click .
- Right-click the
Length formula or Angle
formula box, and select .
-
To define the excitation using a design table, from the
Tools section of the action bar, click Design Table
.
The design table appears in the Length formula or
Angle formula box. Note:
To edit the design table,
click .
-
To modify the maximum force or torque the excitation can develop to reach its
position or velocity:
-
Click Edit Maximum Torque or Edit
Maximum Force, depending on the command type.
-
Click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.
Note:
During a dynamics simulation using the Symplectic Euler
integrator, the maximum force or torque value is taken into account to
prevent movement when joint limits are reached or when contacts
occur.
-
Click OK to save the excitation.
