Dynamometer
Dynamometer component
The Dynamometer component models a simple dynamometer providing a resistive load at the end of a power train. The dynamometer has rotary inertia and linear and quadratic damping. An optional real signal input is also provided for cases where a known load (torque) is applied to the input shaft.
