Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.Flange

One-dimensional rotational flange

Information

This is a connector for 1D rotational mechanical systems. It has no icon definition and is only used by inheritance from flange connectors to define different icons.

The following variables are defined in this connector:

phi: Absolute rotation angle of the flange in [rad].
tau: Cut-torque in the flange in [Nm].

Contents

NameDescription
phiAbsolute rotation angle of flange [rad]
tauCut torque in the flange [N.m]

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.Flange_a Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.Flange_a

One-dimensional rotational flange of a shaft (filled circle icon)

Information

This is a connector for 1-dim. rotational mechanical systems and models which represents a mechanical flange of a shaft. The following variables are defined in this connector:

phi: Absolute rotation angle of the shaft flange in [rad].
tau: Cut-torque in the shaft flange in [Nm].

There is a second connector for flanges: Flange_b. The connectors Flange_a and Flange_b are completely identical. There is only a difference in the icons, in order to easier identify a flange variable in a diagram. For a discussion on the actual direction of the cut-torque tau and of the rotation angle, see section Sign Conventions in the user's guide of Rotational.

If needed, the absolute angular velocity w and the absolute angular acceleration a of the flange can be determined by differentiation of the flange angle phi:

w = der(phi);
a = der(w);

Adapter model to utilize conditional support connector

Information

This is an adapter model to utilize a conditional support connector in an elementary component, i.e., where the component equations are defined textually:

Variable tau is defined as input and must be provided when using this component as a modifier (computed via a torque balance in the model where InternalSupport is used). Usually, model InternalSupport is utilized via the partial models:

PartialElementaryOneFlangeAndSupport,

Note, the support angle can always be accessed as internalSupport.phi, and the support torque can always be accessed as internalSupport.tau.

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.PartialCompliant Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.PartialCompliant

Partial model for the compliant connection of two rotational 1-dim. shaft flanges

Information

This is a 1-dim. rotational component with a compliant connection of two rotational 1-dim. flanges where inertial effects between the two flanges are neglected. The basic assumption is that the cut-torques of the two flanges sum-up to zero, i.e., they have the same absolute value but opposite sign: flange_a.tau + flange_b.tau = 0. This base class is used to built up force elements such as springs, dampers, friction.

flange_bRight flange of compliant 1-dim. rotational component

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.PartialCompliantWithRelativeStates Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.PartialCompliantWithRelativeStates

Partial model for the compliant connection of two rotational 1-dim. shaft flanges where the relative angle and speed are used as preferred states

Information

This is a 1-dim. rotational component with a compliant connection of two rotational 1-dim. flanges where inertial effects between the two flanges are neglected. The basic assumption is that the cut-torques of the two flanges sum-up to zero, i.e., they have the same absolute value but opposite sign: flange_a.tau + flange_b.tau = 0. This base class is used to built up force elements such as springs, dampers, friction.

The relative angle and the relative speed are defined as preferred states. The reason is that for some drive trains, such as drive trains in vehicles, the absolute angle is quickly increasing during operation. Numerically, it is better to use relative angles between drive train components because they remain in a limited size. For this reason, StateSelect.prefer is set for the relative angle of this component.

In order to improve the numerics, a nominal value for the relative angle can be provided via parameter phi_nominal in the Advanced menu. The default is 1e-4 rad since relative angles are usually in this order and the step size control of an integrator would be practically switched off, if a default of 1 rad would be used. This nominal value might also be computed from other values, such as "phi_nominal = tau_nominal / c" for a rotational spring, if tau_nominal and c are more meaningful for the user.
