Function Builder for Force and Motor Functions

You can use the Function Builder to define motor or force profiles from an imported data set. You can also use the Function Builder to define a motor or force profile from a mathematical expression or from interpolated functions along connected segments. For motor profiles, you can specify time, cycle angle, or any result as the independent variable.

To open the Function Builder from a motion study, click Motor (MotionManager toolbar) and in the PropertyManager, for Motor Type, click one of the following:
  • Segments. Defines profile from piecewise continuous functions of time or cycle angle.
  • Data Points. Defines profile from an interpolated data set as a function of time, cycle angle, or motion study results.
  • Expression. Defines profile as mathematical expression of time, cycle angle, or motion study results.
You can also access the Function Builder from the Force PropertyManager.
Some Function Builder options are not available for Animation or Basic Motion study types.
