Force

External force from an input signal

 Description The Force component generates a force proportional to the input signal. The Use Support Flange boolean parameter enables a support flange on the housing. When true (checked) the support flange must be connected in the drawing. When false the component is internally fixed to ground.
 Equations ${f}_{\mathrm{flange}}=-f$ $\mathbf{if}\mathrm{Use Support Flange}\mathbf{then}{f}_{\mathrm{support}}=-f$ $s={s}_{\mathrm{flange}}-\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{s}_{\mathrm{support}}& \mathrm{Use Support}\\ 0& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

Variables
