Description

This model represents an ideal rotational inertia. The element has a preferred angular velocity out causality. The corresponding constitutive equations then contain an integration. The element can also have the non-preferred torque out causality. The constitutive equations then contain a derivation. The model has only one initial port p defined. Because any number of connections can be made, successive ports are named p1, p2, p3 etc. 20-sim will automatically create equations such that the resulting torque p.T is equal to the sum of the torques of all connected ports p1 .. pn and that the angular velocities of all connected prots is equal to p.omega.

 

p.T = sum(p1.T, p2.T, ....)

p.omega = p1.omega = p2.omega = ....

 

angular velocity out causality (preferred):

 

alpha = p.T/J;

p.omega = int(alpha);

phi = int(p.omega);

 

torque out causality:

 

alpha = ddt(p.omega);

p.T = J*alpha;

phi = int(p.omega);
