Mechanical Rotational Elements
The Inertia block represents an ideal mechanical rotational inertia, described with the following equation:
![]()
where
| T | Inertia torque |
| J | Inertia |
| ω | Angular velocity |
| t | Time |
The block has one mechanical rotational conserving port. The block positive direction is from its port to the reference point. This means that the inertia torque is positive if inertia is accelerated in positive direction.

Inertia. The default value is 0.001 kg*m^2.
Initial angular velocity of the inertia. This parameter specifies the initial condition for use in computing the block's initial state at the beginning of a simulation run. For more information, see Computing Initial Conditions. The default value is 0.
The block has one mechanical rotational conserving port, associated with the inertia connection to the system.
