InternalSupport
Adapter model to utilize conditional support connector
Library

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 f is defined as input and must be provided when usingthis component as a modifier (computed via a force balance inthe model where InternalSupport is used). Usually, model InternalSupport isutilized via the partial models:
PartialElementaryOneFlangeAndSupport,
PartialElementaryTwoFlangesAndSupport,
PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational.
Note, the support position can always be accessed as internalSupport.s, andthe support force can always be accessed as internalSupport.f.
