Two translational ports on a Mass block in SimScape

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I am trying to build a 6 DOF(mass-spring-damper) model in SimScape. The mass block in it has only one translational port. How do you connect another spring-damper to the other side of the mass block? Or is there any other way to build this model? Thanks in advance.

Hi Arnaud,
Thanks for the response. Please take a look at the link below. The model on it is what I am trying to build in Simscape.

But from your answer, it looks like I won't be able to create that in Simscape. I will try to learn SimMechanics and see if I can build it there..
Any suggestions on that?
Thanks again.

This is a standard 1D mechanical system and is perfectly well suited to Simscape. Use a similar approach to the screenshot I included in my answer. You don't need SimMechanics for this.
