Force Conversion

R2026b

Convert from force units to desired force units

• 

Force Conversion block

To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.

Libraries:
Aerospace Blockset / Utilities / Unit Conversions

Description

The Force Conversion block computes the conversion factor from specified input force units to specified output force units and applies the conversion factor to the input signal.

The Force Conversion block port labels change based on the input and output units selected from the Initial unit and the Final unit lists.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Force

scalar | array

Force, specified as a scalar or array, in initial force units.

Dependencies

The input port label depends on the Initial unit setting.

Data Types: double

Output

Port_1 — Force

scalar | array

Force, returned as a scalar or array, in final force units.

Dependencies

The output port label depends on the Final unit setting.

Data Types: double

Parameters

Initial unit — Input units

lbf (default) | N

Input units, specified as:

lbf	Pound force
N	Newtons

Dependencies

The input port label depends on the Initial unit setting.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: IU

Type: character vector

Values: lbf | N

Default: lbf

Final unit — Output units

N (default) | lbf

Output units, specified as:

lbf	Pound force
N	Newtons

Dependencies

The output port label depends on the Final unit setting.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: OU

Type: character vector

Values: lbf | N

Default: N

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.
