SimDriveline™

Shared Environment

Connect two driveline components so that they share same driveline environment

Library

Solver & Inertias

Description

The Shared Environment block provides a nonphysical connection between two independent driveline block diagrams, or subdrivelines. The block carries no inertia, adds no degrees of freedom, imposes no constraints, and transfers no motion or torque between the SimDriveline™ blocks to which it is connected.

You can use this block to connect two independent drivelines into one driveline, so that the two subdrivelines then share the same driveline environment. Making this connection does not change the structure or dynamics of either subdriveline.

Caution   The two connected subdrivelines have to be independently valid. The resulting composite driveline needs exactly one Driveline Environment block, not two.

Dialog Box and Parameters

This block has no parameters.
