Adapter model to utilize conditional support connector
Information
This is an adapter model to utilize a conditional support connector in a component. It could be applied to both textually (equations based) and graphically defined components:
- If useSupport = true, this flange has to be connected to the conditional support connector.
- If useSupport = false, this flange has to be connected to the conditional fixed model.
Variable tau is defined as input. It must be provided as a modifier and computed via a torque balance when using this model in textually defined components. This approach of internal support is utilized, e.g., via the following partial models:
- PartialOneFlangeAndSupport,
- PartialTwoFlangesAndSupport,
- PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational.
Note, the support angle can always be accessed as internalSupport.phi, and the support torque can always be accessed as internalSupport.tau.
Connectors
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flange_a | flange | Internal support flange (must be connected to the conditional support connector for useSupport=true and to conditional fixed model for useSupport=false) |
Components
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI.Torque | tau | External support torque (must be computed via torque balance in model where InternalSupport is used; = flange.tau) | |
| SI.Angle | phi | External support angle (= flange.phi) |
