Perturbation Controller

[Mila Wetz]

Hello,

I am trying to apply a continuous force that changes position and magnitude using the perturbation controller and defining the force using the sine wave function. However, I keep getting an error and the controller parameters are not showing up in the optimizable parameters window. Is it possible to use the perturbation controller to apply a force continuously and gradually change the location and magnitude? Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Mila

The PerturbationController is only useful if you wish to apply a constant force for a specific amount of time. For more complex use cases, you should use the ScriptController.

Tutorial 6c shows an example of a more complicated perturbation (it is a torque in this case, but the idea is the same):
