The Translational Move (or Move) component generates a forced translational position according to an input vector. The input vector has three components: position, velocity, and acceleration. They must be consistent with each other.

These conditions do not apply to all applications. For example, if the position-dependent terms of a mechanical system are calculated only, you can provide $s$ and set the angular velocity and the angular acceleration to zero.

The Use Support Flange boolean parameter enables a support flange on the housing. When true (checked) the support flange must be connected in the drawing. When false the component is internally fixed to ground.

$s\=u_1$

$\stackrel{\.}{s}\=u_2$

$\stackrel{..}{s}\=u_3$

$\mathbf{if}\mathrm{Use\; Support\; Flange}\mathbf{then}{f}_{\mathrm{support}}\=-f$

$s\=s_{\mathrm{flange}}-\{\begin{array}{cc}{s}_{\mathrm{support}}& \mathrm{Use\; Support}\\ 0& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$
