Hello;
I am using SIMULINK for modeling and simulation of the behavior of a magneto-rheological damper MR damper, I am using an equation proposed by Spencer et al, when I finished the modeling of the damper I had a problem, when I put it in a structure and a submit the system to a seismic excitation for 25 seconds the time of simulation is running very slowly 0.001 second as a step it take 4 hours to move from 3 s to 4 s, the problem disappears when I put a [Abs] (absolute) value bloc before the damper subsystem, the simulation is finished quickly.
If any one can help me about that ? I will be thankful
as attached file you will find the paper i ma using
and MRDAMPER file, the parameter file of the damper, the structure model and the data of the structure and the [t g] files for time and ground acceleration
thank you
