Used to control the transient characteristics of a system (time constant and damping ratio).
Limitations:
1. Check the limitations inside the Derivative block

C="Derivative Model:
This model is used to take the derivative of a signal using a lag filter. The derivative is valid for frequencies up to (1/ time constant). For higher frequencies the time constant must be decreased.
Limitations:
1. time constant > 0
2. Simulation stepsize must be less than the time constant for stability."
