-
In the tree, select a command under the mechanism representation to drive
with the segmented excitation.
-
Specify which segments to use for the associated curve so as to
define the segmented excitation:
-
Click
Add to add a segment to the excitation.
A new line is automatically added to the table.
-
In the table, enter a value for T start, Y start, T end, and Y end in
the dedicated columns by double-clicking each cell.
-
Double-click the table cells under the
Type column to select the segment type:
- Select
Linear to add a line segment to the curve.
- Select
Quadratic to add a square-like segment
(elliptic, hyperboloid, parabolic) to the curve.
- Select
Cubic to add a three-dimensional cubic
segment to the curve.
- Select
Quarter Sine to add a quarter sine segment
to the curve.
- Select
Quarter Cosine to add a quarter cosine
segment to the curve.
The selected segment appears in the
Plot view of the
Segmented Excitation dialog box.
-
Repeat step 3 to add complementary segments to the curve.
The start point coordinates are automatically specified for the next segment.
They correspond to the end point coordinates of the last segment
specified.
-
Once the segmented excitation is defined, click OK to
save it and exit the Segmented Excitation dialog box.
- Optional:
Use the
Simulation Player to animate the command values
defined in the segmented excitation.
-
To modify the values of a segmented excitation:
-
Right-click the segmented excitation in the
tree,
and select
.
-
To modify the T start, Y start, T end and Y end, double-click
the values and specify the new ones.
-
To add a new segment, click
Add.
-
To remove a line, select it, and click
Remove.
