The Translational Accelerate (or Accelerate) component generates a forced translational acceleration proportional to an input signal.

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.

$a\=a_{\mathrm{ref}}\=\stackrel{\.}{v}$

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

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

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