Source for constant current

Extends from Interfaces.OnePort (Component with two electrical pins p and n and current i from p to n), Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Icons.CurrentSource (Icon for current sources).

Information

The ConstantCurrent source is a simple source for an ideal constant current which is provided by a parameter. There is no internal resistance modeled. No further effects are modeled. Especially, the current flow will never end.
