VariableMass
Sliding mass with variable inertia
Library
Mechanics/Translational
Description
Sliding mass with variable inertia, without friction and two rigidly connected flanges.
The sliding mass has the length L, the position coordinate s is in the middle. Sign convention: A positive force at flange flange_a moves the sliding mass in the positive direction. A negative force at flange flange_a moves the sliding mass to the negative direction.
