.TransiEnt.Basics.Blocks.DeadZoneLinear

Information

1. Purpose of model

The DeadZone block defines a region of zero output.

If the input is within uMin ... uMax, the output is zero. Outside of this zone, the output is a linear function of the input with a slope of 1.

For smooth transition (typeTransition=2), a third order polynomial is used between uMinSmooth and uMin and uMax and uMaxSmooth, respectively. Events can be avoided by switching use_noEvent to true (might lead to chattering).
