Mechanical Rotational Elements
The Rotational Damper block represents an ideal mechanical rotational viscous damper described with the following equations:
![]()
![]()
where
| T | Torque transmitted through the spring |
| D | Damping (viscous friction) coefficient |
| ω | Relative angular velocity |
| ωR,ωC | Absolute angular velocities of terminals R and C, respectively |
The block positive direction is from port R to port C. This means that the torque is positive if it acts in the direction from R to C.

Damping coefficient, defined by viscose friction. The default value is 0.001 N*m/(rad/s).
The block has the following ports:
Mechanical rotational conserving port.
