Description

A spring and damper element connected in parallel. The component can be connected either between two inertias to describe the shaft elasticity and damping, or between an inertia and the housing (component Fixed), to describe a coupling of the element with the housing via a spring/damper.

Parameters

    SpringDamper_0

  • c [N.m/rad] : Spring constant (>=0) (c): Scalar.
  • d [N.m.s/rad] : Damping constant (>=0) (d): 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.
