Documentation(info = "<html>\n<p>\nThis is an adapter model to utilize a conditional support connector\nin an elementary component, i.e., where the component equations are\ndefined textually:\n</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li> If <em>useSupport = true</em>, the flange has to be connected to the conditional\n support connector.</li>\n<li> If <em>useSupport = false</em>, the flange has to be connected to the conditional\n fixed model.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>\nVariable <strong>f</strong> is defined as <strong>input</strong> and must be provided when using\nthis component as a modifier (computed via a force balance in\nthe model where InternalSupport is used). Usually, model InternalSupport is\nutilized via the partial models:\n</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<a href=\"modelica://Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Interfaces.PartialElementaryOneFlangeAndSupport\">\nPartialElementaryOneFlangeAndSupport</a>,<br>\n<a href=\"modelica://Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Interfaces.PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport\">\nPartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport</a>,<br>\n<a href=\"modelica://Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Interfaces.PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational\">\nPartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational</a>.\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>\nNote, the support position can always be accessed as internalSupport.s, and\nthe support force can always be accessed as internalSupport.f.\n</p>\n</html>"));
