Segment Parameters

Amplitude

The amplitude of the sine wave. Amplitude equals half peak-to-peak of the sinusoid.

Phase - (degrees)

The phase allows you to phase the sine wave. When the phase is zero, the displacement looks like a normal sine function.

Number-of-Cycles

One cycle is a one full Sine function 2Π radians

Note:

The graph may alias if you have many sinusoid cycles, or too few steps in the Number-of-Steps parameter.

Example: Segment Parameters

The motion to the left is a 'normalized' sinusoid segment.

A 'normalized' segment has a duration of '1' second and a Amplitude of '1' unit.

The maximum values of Velocity, Acceleration and Jerk become the Motion-Coefficients.
