Rotational Free End
Rotational port terminator with zero torque

Description
The Rotational Free End block represents a mechanical rotational port that rotates freely, without torque.
You can use this block to terminate mechanical rotational ports on other blocks that you want to leave unconnected. This is not necessary because if you leave a conserving port unconnected, the physical network sets all the Through variables at that port to 0. However, terminator blocks improve diagram readability.
You can also use this block to set the initial rotational velocity at a node.
Variables
To set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation, use the Variables tab in the block dialog box (or the Variables section in the block Property Inspector). For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.
