Construction and Parameterization

Lets consider a simple Mass-Spring-Damper system to get an idea how the Analysis Tools for Power and Energy variables can be used.

Figure 14: Simple Mass-Spring-Damper system

All parameters are considered at their default values, except the inclination (+90 port 1 lowest, -90 port 1 highest) parameter, which is set to -90 degrees.

We set the Run Parameters from a Start Time of 0s to a Final Time of 2s with a Print Interval of 0.001s.

We propose two analyses, the first being with Powers [W] and the second with Energies [J].
