Description
The Infinite Thermal Resistance block represents an infinite resistance, with no heat flow through it. Use this block to set the initial temperature difference between two thermal nodes without affecting model equations. To do this, use the Initial Targets section in the block dialog box and set the priority and initial target value for the Temperature difference variable prior to simulation. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.
Variables
To set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation, use the Initial Targets section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.
Nominal values provide a way to specify the expected magnitude of a variable in a model. Using system scaling based on nominal values increases the simulation robustness. Nominal values can come from different sources, one of which is the Nominal Values section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Modify Nominal Values for a Block Variable.
