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 polynomialy = ∑i=1n ci xi-1
where n > 1 and xmin, xmax are parameters. For x < xmin and x > xmax, the polynomial is replaced by a linear function in such a way that the first derivative is continuous everywhere.Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
