Adapter model to utilize conditional support connector

Description

This is an adapter model to utilize a conditional support connector in an elementary component, i.e., where the component equations are defined textually:

  • If useSupport = true, the flange has to be connected to the conditional support connector.
  • If useSupport = false, the flange has to be connected to the conditional fixed model.

Variable f is defined as input and must be provided when using this component as a modifier (computed via a force balance in the model where InternalSupport is used). Usually, model InternalSupport is utilized via the partial models:

PartialElementaryOneFlangeAndSupport,
PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport,
PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational.

Note, the support position can always be accessed as internalSupport.s, and the support force can always be accessed as internalSupport.f.
