Description

This is an adapter model to utilize a conditional support connectorin an elementary component, i.e., where the component equations aredefined 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 tau is defined as input and must be provided when usingthis component as a modifier (computed via a torque balance inthe model where InternalSupport is used). Usually, model InternalSupport isutilized via the partial models:

PartialElementaryOneFlangeAndSupport,
PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport,
PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational.

Note, the support angle can always be accessed as internalSupport.phi, andthe support torque can always be accessed as internalSupport.tau.
