Pre

Breaks algebraic loops by an infinitesimal small time delay (y = pre(u): event iteration continues until u = pre(u))

Library

Modelica/Blocks/Logical

Description

This block delays the Boolean input by an infinitesimal small time delay andtherefore breaks algebraic loops. In a network of logical blocks, in every"closed connection loop" at least one logical block must have a delay,since algebraic systems of Boolean equations are not solvable.

The "Pre" block returns the value of the "input" signal from thelast "event iteration". The "event iteration" stops, once bothvalues are identical (u = pre(u)).
