Ground contact

Road-normal contact: on the surface the ground supports what the lift cannot, a one-sided damper arrests a landing and a critically damped spring settles penetration; airborne the lift acts alone. Mode 0 gives the normal acceleration, mode 1 the ground's share.

Signal inputs

These directed signals carry information. Conserving terminals exchange the quantities of their physical domain.

Signal outputs

Outputs can supply compatible inputs. Connections and values are inspected in the model that owns them.

Limits and interpretation

  • The symbolic diagram describes the component and its declared interface. It is not a solved circuit or simulated output.
  • Configured parameters and model connections determine the result. Check the complete model before interpreting its outputs.

Implementation sources

This reference follows Lemonergy implementation sources. Scientific articles support the linked concepts separately.

Current authoring interface provenance

The interactive graphic is exported from the same Studio help descriptor. Source base: e248d21a9902225f1075624f23e7628b54cdb7cc. File content hashes in the public descriptor catalog identify the exact source snapshot. Existing numerical checks above retain their own verification scope.
