FlangeConnectors

Description

A flange is described by the connector classInterfaces.Flange_aor Interfaces.Flange_b. As already noted, the two connectorclasses are completely identical. There is only a difference in the icons,in order to easier identify a flange variable in a diagram.Both connector classes contain the following variables:

   Modelica.SIunits.Angle       phi  "Absolute rotation angle of flange";   flow Modelica.SIunits.Torque tau  "Cut-torque in the flange";

If needed, the angular velocity w and theangular acceleration a of a flange connector can bedetermined by differentiation of the flange angle phi:

     w = der(phi);    a = der(w);
