Buildings.Fluid.Utilities.extendedPolynomial Buildings.Fluid.Utilities.extendedPolynomial

Polynomial that is linearly extended at user specified values

Information


For x between the bounds xMin < x < xMax,
this function defines a polynomial 
   y = c1 + c2 * x + ... + cN * x^(N-1)
where N > 1 and xMin, xMax are parameters. For x < xMin and x > xMax, the polynomial is replaced with a linear function in such a way that the first derivative is continuous everywhere.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for a function).

Inputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Realc[:] Polynomial coefficients
Realx x value
RealxMin Minimum x value for polynomial
RealxMax Maximum x value for polynomial

Outputs

TypeNameDescription
Realyy value
