Output for Sliprings
- RINGSLIP: total amount of material crossing the slipring
- FN: normal force on slipring
- F1: axial tension in strand 1 of the slipring
- F2: axial tension in strand 2 of the slipring
- THETA: angle between slipring strands
- GAMMA: orientation angle of the seatbelt
Comments
- The ringslip is positive when the material moves from elem1 to elem2 and is negative if the flow of material is in the opposite direction.
