Rotational.TorqueStep

This component extends from PartialTorque

Usage

TranslatedComponents.Rotational.TorqueStep(stepTorque=1, offsetTorque=0, startTime=0)

Parameters:

Name	Description	Units	Default value
useSupport		–	false
stepTorque		N.m	1
offsetTorque		N.m	0
startTime		s	0

Connectors

• flange - This connector represents a rotational spline with angle and torque as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Spline)

• support - This connector represents a rotational spline with angle and torque as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Spline)

Variables

Name	Description	Units
phi_support		rad
phi		rad
tau		N.m

Behavior

$$\begin{array}{rl}\mathtt{phi}\left(t\right)& =\mathtt{flange}\mathtt{.}\mathtt{phi}\left(t\right)-\mathtt{phi}\mathtt{\_}\mathtt{support}\left(t\right)\\ \mathtt{tau}\left(t\right)& =-\mathtt{flange}\mathtt{.}\mathtt{tau}\left(t\right)\\ \mathtt{tau}\left(t\right)& =\mathtt{offsetTorque}+ifelse(t<\mathtt{startTime},0,\mathtt{stepTorque})\\ \mathtt{phi}\mathtt{\_}\mathtt{support}\left(t\right)& =0\end{array}$$
