Domains: Continuous. Size: [n,m]. Kind: Bond Graphs.

Description

This junction represents a switching 0 junction. Depending on the condition value it can connect / disconnect additional elements to / from the bond graph.

 

The p12 junction port is connected when condition <> 0. The sum of the flows on all three ports is zero and the efforts on all ports are equal.

When disconnected (condition == 0), the effort and flow of port p12 are both zero. Ports p1 and p2 are still connected (effort = zero, flows are equal).

Interface

Ports

 

p1, p2

Input and output port of the 1 junction.

p12

Conditional port (only connected when condition evaluates to a non-zero value)

Inputs

 

condition

Switching condition (non-zero value = connected)

Limitations

All connected bonds must have the same size.
