Flange_a

One-dimensional translational flange (left, flange axis directed INTO cut plane)

Information

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

This is a connector for 1-dim. translational mechanical systems which represents a mechanical flange. In the cut plane of the flange a unit vector n, called flange axis, is defined which is directed INTO the cut plane, i. e. from left to right. All vectors in the cut plane are resolved with respect to this unit vector. E.g. force f characterizes a vector which is directed in the direction of n with value equal to f. When this flange is connected to other 1D translational flanges, this means that the axes vectors of the connected flanges are identical.

The following variables are transported through this connector:

s: Absolute position of the flange in [m]. A positive translation
   means that the flange is translated along the flange axis.
f: Cut-force in direction of the flange axis in [N].
