The definition of a simple shaft brake whose retarding torque will increase linearly over a set time.

• BrakeType: string = SimpleShaftBrake
• BrakePosition: string = LOW_SPEED_SHAFT_ROTOR_END | LOW_SPEED_SHAFT_GEARBOX_END | HIGH_SPEED_SHAFT_GEARBOX_END | HIGH_SPEED_SHAFT_GENERATOR_END
• MaximumTorque: number (Nm)
• RampTime: number (s)

A type of Brake

Properties

BrakePosition: string, optional

Which shaft the brake is acting on.

BrakeType: string

Defines the specific type of Brake model in use. For a SimpleShaftBrake object, this must always be set to a value of SimpleShaftBrake.

MaximumTorque: number (Nm)

The maximum retarding torque to apply to the shaft.

RampTime: number (s)

The amount of time following the brake's activation to reach maximum torque.
