Rotational Spring Damper

Linear 1D rotational spring and damper in parallel

 Description The Rotational Spring Damper (or Spring Damper) component models a spring and damper connected in parallel. An optional heat port provides a thermal connection to the power dissipated in the damper; the spring-damper parameters are not temperature dependent.
 Equations $\mathrm{\tau }={\mathrm{\tau }}_{c}+{\mathrm{\tau }}_{d}=-{\mathrm{\tau }}_{a}={\mathrm{\tau }}_{b}$ ${\mathrm{\tau }}_{c}=c\left({\mathrm{\phi }}_{\mathrm{rel}}-{\mathrm{\phi }}_{\mathrm{rel0}}\right)$ ${\mathrm{\tau }}_{d}=d{w}_{\mathrm{rel}}$ ${\mathrm{\phi }}_{\mathrm{rel}}={\mathrm{\phi }}_{b}-{\mathrm{\phi }}_{a}$ ${w}_{\mathrm{rel}}={\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{\phi }}}_{\mathrm{rel}}$ ${a}_{\mathrm{rel}}={\stackrel{.}{w}}_{\mathrm{rel}}$ $\mathrm{lossPower}={\mathrm{\tau }}_{d}{w}_{\mathrm{rel}}$
