The block is designed to simulate a linear translatory damper with the constant damping factor
The relative damper elongation speed v in m/s is determined by the formula:


where vC and vR – linear speeds at ports "C" and "R", respectively, m/s.
The damping force is determined by the formula:




where:
- FC and FC – forces applied to ports "C" and "R", respectively, N
- D – damping factor, N·s/m
The value of the damping factor in N·s/m is displayed next to the block.
