SimDriveline 1.5.3

Simple Clutch

This model simulates two rotating inertias coupled by a simple gear controlled by a programmed clutch. Initially, the clutch pressure is zero and Inertia 2 has zero velocity. A constant torque is applied to Inertia 1. Once the clutch pressure increases, Inertia 2 starts spinning. At 6 seconds, the cluch pressure drops to zero, and Inertia 2 starts to spin freely. Because there is no frictional loss, it keeps spinning.
