Hello,
I'm building an air/oil damper model and using a mass with initial velocity in order to run my tests. However, I need the damper to reach steady state before I subject it to a mass w/velocity input. If I check 'start simulation from steady state' in the solver, then I do not see the response from my input. What I'm trying to do is simply use a step input, so say after a delay of 1 second, the mass w/velocity is applied to the damper. That way, any settling of internal pressure and damper stiffness will have time to reach equilibrium.
I tried adding a step input to a summing junction with mass, however the signal types are Simulink and physical respectively, so that does not work.
Your thoughts?
