Description

This model represents a linear damper. It can have an torque out as well as an angular velocity out causality. In the last case the constitutive equation, as shown below, is simply inverted. The port p of the damper model has separate high and low terminals. The equations are:

 

p.T = p_high.T = p_low.T

p.omega = p_high.omega - p_low.omega

 

Torque out causality:

 

p.T = d * p.omega;

 

Angular velocity out causality:

 

p.omega = p.T / d;
