Add Math FB

Why should I use a Math FB?

A Math FB allows you to develop new functions that may not be available with other FBs.

Examples:

Mechanism-Synthesis, when combined with Measurement FBs and Parameter-Control FBs.

Add two or more Motions to create a new Motion - for example, add a Modified-Sinusoid motion-law to a Constant-Velocity motion-law to give a Starting-Velocity and Ending-Velocity that are not zero.

Define Parametric equations for Piggyback Sliders.
