Simscape Language: Nonlinear rotational spring (Torque == kx^2)

Simscape language example showing how to use a MATLAB function in the equations section.

Description

This file contains the Simscape language source code for a nonlinear rotational spring. It also contains a Simulink® model where you can test the Simscape™ component produced from this file. In this example, you’ll see how to use the MATLAB® function “sign” when defining the equations for a physical modeling component.
