Description

A linear 1D rotational spring. The component can be connected either between two inertias to describe the shaft elasticity, or between a inertia and the housing (component Fixed), to describe a coupling of the element with the housing via a spring.

Parameters

    Spring_0

  • c [N.m/rad] : Spring constant (>=0) (c): Scalar.
  • phi_rel0 [rad] : Unstretched spring angle (phi_rel0): Scalar.

Ports

  • Port 1 at left position: implicit input fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at right position: implicit output fixedport numbered 1.
