functiondcGain

Return steady state gain k (for a stable system: k = value of y at infinite time for a step input)

Information

Syntax

          k = dcGain(zp);
(k, finite) = dcGain(zp);

Description

This function computes the steady state gain k of a ZerosAndPoles transfer function g(s), i.e. k = g(s=0). For a stable transfer function, a step input u results in the output y(t->t∞) = k.

If the transfer function has one or more zero poles, k is infinite. In this case, the output argument finite = false and k = Modelica.Constants.inf.
