Force input in Prismatic or Cylindrical joint.

There are 2 solids. Is it possible to affect one solid by force input in joint between them without using SimHydraulics and the force was calculated through position set in a Signal Builder?

So you want to feed in a force profile you created in Signal Builder?

All you need to do is convert that to a physical signal using a Simulink-PS Converter block (with Force units, like N). Then, pass than signal in to the Force input port of the Joint block.

Maybe I've not correctly explained this situation. I want to set in Signal Builder differense between start position of moving solid and position in time.

When I use hydraulic system to move that block I get some Force signals which control the movement of solid. There is a matrix 2xN where N is a count of timestamps and on each stamp there is a force value. And I want to do it without hydraulics.

So the main question is can I do this (for example using some matlab fuction block) or I can't create correct motion of my block without hydraulics?
