Description

Block Rotational Free End It is a mechanical rotary port that rotates freely, without torque.

You can use this unit to disconnect the mechanical rotary ports on other units that you want to leave unplugged.

You can also use this block to set the initial rotation speed at the node.

Variables

Use the parameter group Initial Targets to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.
