Interfaces.PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport2

Partial model for a component with two translational 1D flanges and a support.

This partial component extends PartialTwoFlanges to add a support flange. It defines the distances s_a and s_b between each flange and the support:

$$s_a=flange\mathrm{\_}a.s-support.s$$$$s_b=flange\mathrm{\_}b.s-support.s$$

The force balance ensures the reaction force is transmitted to the support:

$$support.f=-flange\mathrm{\_}a.f-flange\mathrm{\_}b.f$$

In the MSL, the support connector is conditional (useSupport). Here, the support is always present. To model a grounded support, connect it to a Fixed component.

This component extends from TranslationalComponents.Interfaces.PartialTwoFlanges

Usage

TranslationalComponents.Interfaces.PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport2()

Connectors

• support - This connector represents a mechanical flange with position and force as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Flange)

Variables

Name	Description	Units
s_a	Distance between left flange and support	m
s_b	Distance between right flange and support	m

Partial model for a component with two translational 1D flanges and a support.

This partial component extends `PartialTwoFlanges` to add a support flange.
It defines the distances `s_a` and `s_b` between each flange and the support:
```math
s_a = flange\_a.s - support.s
```
```math
s_b = flange\_b.s - support.s
```
The force balance ensures the reaction force is transmitted to the support:
```math
support.f = -flange\_a.f - flange\_b.f
```
In the MSL, the support connector is conditional (`useSupport`). Here, the support
is always present. To model a grounded support, connect it to a `Fixed` component.
