Angle Sensor

Purpose

Output measured absolute or relative angle as signal

Library

Mechanical / Rotational / Sensors

Description

The Angle Sensor measures the relative angle of the flange marked with a dot with respect to the other flange. If the other flange is connected to the reference frame, the absolute angle is measured.

Note

Speed and angle sensors are ideally compliant. Hence, if multiple speed or angle sensors are connected in series, the speed or angle measured by an individual sensor is undefined. This produces a run-time error.

Parameters

Second flange

Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the rotational reference frame.

Initial angle

The angle at simulation start, in radians.

Probe Signals

Angle

The measured angle, in radians.
