The block is designed to simulate a linear translatory damper with the variable damping factor
The damper relative 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 – defined damping factor, N/m·s
- Dmin – minimum damping factor, N/m·s
