How do I use value of one request as input for other?

Question

Imagine I have separate blocks A and B.

Part A

Part A is provided a displacement motion. It also has a request which asks for displacement.

Part B

Can I use the output value of A displacement (from request) as input for B displacement motion?

Note: I am not looking for coupler here.

Hi asheshshrestha.

Yes it is posible, but not with a request, because that is not calculated for all timesteps. Instead, create a state variable (based on same equation as your request) and use its value as an input for the other motion. See attached example.
