Clock to provide time-signal in a different time base

Information

This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.

The output y is a time signal (e.g., a clock) → Modelica.Blocks.Sources.ContinuousClock. The units for the output will here be a non-SIunit (e.g., min, h, d, wk, ...).

Notes

To make components and models compatible with each other, time should always be in the SIunit s, while displayUnit is used to enter and present values in a different unit of time.

This component can be used to provide an output with a different `unit` of time instead of merely a different `displayUnit` of time. It should be used sparsely and with care.

This component will not be supported by Modelica tools in general, but has been tested to work with Wolfram System Modeler 14.
