Help modelling a double mass-spring-damper system on simscape multiboy.

I have created a working model of a double-mass-spring damper system which seems to be working fine, the only issue I am is that I would like to visualise on a scope the velocity/position/displacement of the second mass (from its centre). Only issue is, I can't figure how to do it, I have tried using a Prismatic joint but with no luck.

Kind regards.

PS: I have attached a screenshot of the model.

Hi,

Your two options for plotting position on a scope are from a joint block or from a Rigid Transform Sensor. If you read the documentation for those blocks you should be able to figure out how to get a signal to the Scope. Look at some of the shipping examples to see how it works.
