FirstOrderTest ​

Test fixture for evaluating first-order system response to constant input.

This component connects a constant value (1.0) to a first-order system with gain 1.2 and time constant 0.1, allowing observation of the step response. The first-order system is expected to reach its steady state value of 1.2 after approximately 5 time constants (0.5 seconds). The metadata includes a test case that verifies this expected behavior after 10 seconds of simulation.

Usage ​

BlockComponents.FirstOrderTest()

Behavior ​

[connect(c+y(t),pt1+u(t))c.y(t)=c.kdpt1.x(t)dt=−pt1.x(t)+pt1.kpt1.u(t)pt1.Tpt1.y(t)=pt1.x(t)]
