ConfigForce -- Apply forces to a configuration variable.

ConfigForce creates an input variable that applies a force directly to a configuration variable:

F_qi = u(t)

where the u(t) is a Input variable.

Examples

forced-pendulum-inverse-dynamics.py, initial-conditions.py, pend-on-cart-optimization.py

Create a new input to apply a force on a configuration variable.

config should be an existing configuration variable (a name, index, or object).

finput should be a string to name the new input variable.

ConfigForce.finput

The input variable (Input) that controls this force.

ConfigForce.config

The configuration variable (Config) that this force is applied to.
