This block models a hub for a fan-fold solar array. It consists of S concentric Revolute joints. Damping can be applied to the joints by setting a value for the "damping" parameter. The starting angle of each hinge can be set through the "phi_start" array; the units of the angles should be radians.
Optionally, the first hinge of the hub can be driven at a constant speed. This behavior can be activated by setting the "driven" flag to true and by specifying a speed at which to drive the hinge through the "driven_speed" parameter (units of rad/s).
This block also contains a terminate condition. When the angle of the first hinge reaches an angle >= 2pi, the "terminate" statement will be called.
