.Buildings.Electrical.Transmission.Functions.computeGMD

Information

This function computes the Geometric Mean Distance of a cable.

The GMD is computed as

GMD = (d₁ d₂ d₃)^1/3,

where d₁, d₂, and d₃ are the distances between the conductors.

Interface

function computeGMD
  input Modelica.Units.SI.Length d1 "Distance between conductors";
  input Modelica.Units.SI.Length d2 = d1 "Distance between conductors";
  input Modelica.Units.SI.Length d3 = 2*d1 "Distance between conductors";
  output Modelica.Units.SI.Length GMD "Geometric Mean Distance";
end computeGMD;
