Impulse Force to represent pushing on a skateboard

asaad

Hey hey,
I need to apply a Force to my Skateboard Model to represent the forward push.
How would I do that?
Applied force with a subroutine? If yes what to read to get into this or maybe you have an idea what subroutine would work?
 
thanks a lot,
asaad

    Hi asaad.
     
    Why not using a force defined by two steps in a function expression? Something like...
    Force*(step(time, 0.0, 0.0, 0.1, 1.0)-step(time, 0.1, 0.0, 0.2, 1.0))
     
    Kind Regards
    Nils
