Description
This basic sensor is aimed to be used within advanced sensors where the absolute angular velocity of frame_a should be determined. This vector is provided at the output signal connector w.
Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which frame the angular velocity is resolved:
| resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameA. | Meaning |
|---|---|
| world | Resolve vector in world frame |
| frame_a | Resolve vector in frame_a |
| frame_resolve | Resolve vector in frame_resolve |
In this basic sensor model, the connector frame_resolve is always enabled and must be connected. If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameA.frame_resolve, the vector w is resolved in the frame to which frame_resolve is connected.
Example
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameA.frame_a, the output vector is computed as:
w = MultiBody.Frames.angularVelocity2(frame_a.R);
