Mechanical Rotational Elements
Description
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.
Dialog Box and Parameters
- Inertia
Inertia. The default value is 0.001 kg*m^2.
- Initial velocity
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.
Ports
The block has one mechanical rotational conserving port, associated
with the inertia connection to the system.
