SystemModel["Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Sensors.CutForce"]

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
The cut-force acting between the two frames to which this model is connected, is determined and provided at the output signal connector force (= frame_a.f). If parameter positiveSign = false, the negative cut-force is provided (= frame_b.f).
Via parameter resolveInFrame it is defined, in which frame the force vector 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 |
If resolveInFrame = Types.ResolveInFrameAB.frame_resolve, the conditional connector "frame_resolve" is enabled and output force is resolved in the frame, to which frame_resolve is connected. Note, if this connector is enabled, it must be connected.
In the following figure the animation of a CutForce sensor is shown. The dark blue coordinate system is frame_b, and the green arrow is the cut force acting at frame_b and with negative sign at frame_a.
