Cantilever Class Reference

Detailed Description

schema

Simple cantilever capable of simulating 1 vertical mode.

Initialisation parameters:

• pushed = True|False push the output buffer immediately if True.
• startingz = The distance from equilibrium the cantilever will be placed at the start of the simulation.
• Q = The Q factor of the cantilever.
• k = spring constant of the cantilever.
• f0 = Eigenfrequency of the cantilever.

Input channels:

• holderz = Position of the cantilever holder in the z direction
• fz = Force on the cantilever
• exciter = excitation force for the cantilever

Output channels:

• ztip = vertical position of the tip
• zabs = absoloute vertical position of the tip
• vz = Vertical speed of the tip

Examples:

canti = machine.AddCircuit(type='Cantilever',name='canti', startingz=0.5, Q=10000, k=167.0, f0=f0, pushed=True)
