Angular Measurements for Complete Rotational Cycles


By default, in MotionView, angular rotation is recorded as the total amount of rotation traveled. For instance, with this four-bar linkage, the output to retrieve the angular rotation of a joint is computed using RTOD({j_0.AZ}).

Current Outcome:

 

Observe that the recorded rotation is given as the total travel, not in cycles. To adjust the measurement to display rotation in cycles, the MOD function can be used. The output can be updated to RTOD(MOD({j_0.AZ}, 2*PI)), which will record the angular rotation within a 360-degree cycle.
