Brake

Brake component with extra outputs

The Brake component is based on the rotational Brake component and has two extra outputs for the power loss and locked state.

Note: Please refer to 1-D Mechanical/Rotational Brake for more information.

Loss Power

-

Real output port for power loss. Power loss is zero when brake is 'free' or 'locked'.

$\mathrm{locked}$

-

Boolean output port for the clutch state

 • locked = true, if the clutch is locked
 • locked = false, if the clutch is not locked

Extra Parameters

 Symbol Condition Default Units Description ID Reduce Branching $-$ false $-$ When true, simplifies clutch equations (by adding a slight compliance in the locked state) so they may be treated as a piecewise.  This has the effect of reducing the resulting code size (and formulation time) with generally little affect on clutch performance and behaviour. reduceBranching
