Description

This model represents a linear damper. It can have an force out as well as an 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.F = p_high.F = p_low.F

p.v = p_high.v - p_low.v

 

Force out causality:

 

p.F = d * p.v;

 

Velocity velocity out causality:

 

p.v = p.F / d;
