InternalSupport

Adapter model to utilize conditional support connector

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

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

  • If useSupport = true, the flange has to be connected to the conditional support connector.
  • If useSupport = false, the flange has to be connected to the conditional fixed model.

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,
PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport,
PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational.

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

Inputs (1)

tau

Type: Torque (N·m)

Description: External support torque (must be computed via torque balance in model where InternalSupport is used; = flange.tau)

Connectors (1)

flange

Type: Flange_a

Description: Internal support flange (must be connected to the conditional support connector for useSupport=true and to conditional fixed model for useSupport=false)
