Introduction

SimDriveline extends Simulink® with tools for modeling and simulating the mechanics of driveline (drivetrain) systems. These tools include components such as gears, rotating shafts, and clutches; standard transmission templates; and engine and tire models. SimDriveline is optimized for ease of use and speed of calculation for driveline mechanics. It is integrated with MathWorks control design and code generation products, enabling you to design controllers and test them in real time with the model of the mechanical system.

SimDriveline can be used for a variety of automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. It is particularly suited to the development of controllers for automotive and aerospace transmission systems.

Key Features

• Modeling environment for defining the mechanics of a driveline system in Simulink
• Library of common gear configurations
• Library of dynamic elements, including clutches and rotational stops, torque converters, and torsional spring-dampers
• Templates for common transmission systems
• Basic models of vehicle components, including engines, longitudinal vehicle dynamics, and tires
