Examples.ElastoGap
Demonstrate usage of ElastoGap.
Replicates the structure of Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Examples.ElastoGap.
Two parallel systems compare the behaviour of SpringDamper (top) vs ElastoGap (bottom) for identical mass/stiffness/damping. Both masses start at the same position (s=2) and oscillate between two walls (rod ends) separated by 4 m via a Fixed at the centre.
Top system (SpringDamper): mass1 is connected between the rod ends through two SpringDampers (c=10, d=1.5, s_rel0=1). The spring-damper forces act continuously, so mass1 always feels the restoring force.
Bottom system (ElastoGap): mass2 is connected through two ElastoGaps (c=10, d=1.5, s_rel0=1.5). The gap allows mass2 to move freely in the region −0.5 m < s < 0.5 m (no contact force), which reduces the effective eigenfrequency compared to the top system.
Each ElastoGap heat port is connected to a FixedTemperature boundary so the thermal energy balance is closed.
