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.

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