Resultant Acceleration

Top  Previous  Next

Output accelerations are taken from constraints which are considered free to accelerate.

  • select a Distance / Length constraint, or an Angle constraint
  • select the Resultant Acceleration icon in the Mechanics Output toolbox

In the example below we calculate the  acceleration of the pendulum in angle θ. The unlocked icon next  to the θ indicates it's free to accelerate.
