Description

Differential1

This model is equivalent to the fork model of the Translation library. It represents a special type of node where the torques are equal and the angular velocities are added:

 

p3.omega = p1.omega + p2.omega;

p1.T = p2.T = p3.T;

 

This model can for example be used for actuators that generate a torque difference. With the differential model an equivalent model can be found with the actuator attached to the fixed world:
