Nth Order Transfer Function

 

Description

This component models a higher order transfer function.  The solution is formulated based on state variables.  The inputs to the subroutine are the coefficients of the transfer function and the initial conditions of the state variables.

 

The solution can be in the simplified or non-simplified trapezoidal integration.

 Name for Identification

 

Text

 

Optional text parameter for identification of the component.

         

 Order of Transfer Function

 

Choice

 

Select a number between 1 and 10.  This corresponds to the order of the transfer function.

 

 

 

 

 

Frequency Scaling?

 

Choice

 

Select Yes or No. If Yes is selected, a normalized transfer function can be scaled to a non-normalized frequency
