Gear ratio as output from CVT block

Is there a way by which I can take instantaneous gear ratio as output from CVT block available in the powertrain blockset ?

yes. please see the following.

Thanks ! For the PllyRatioReq tab, do i need to input a look up table of RPM vs reduction ? If yes, is there any standard look up tables available or how do I build them ? Attaching the model for your reference. I am working first time on the powertrain blockset, please can you advise if the connections are correct.

[Hiroshi Miyagawa]

why dont you use a reference application. Powertrain Blockset includes some example models that is built using Powertrain Blockset library blocks.

e.g. Conventional Vehicle Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel Economy and Emissions

unforutunatly, this example doesnt include the CVT block, but you can edit the model.

hope it helps you.

the attached zip file is based on Conv Veh Ref Application, using CVT and Trq Conv blocks. MATLAB version R2019b.

You can refer to this model.

i did not understand what is PllyRatioReq input. is it the gear reduction required ? For example if i want constant reduction of 3, should i give constant input 3 to PllyRatioReq ?

[Hiroshi Miyagawa]

Yes, you are right.

Please can you suggest a way by which I can build a torque coupler (which combines torque from engine and motor using k1, k2 values) in powertrain blockset. Is there a standard block available ?

Please refer to attached image.

I assumed that you don't make sense how to connect between a "mapped motor" block and gear train.

If you select 'Speed' at Port configuration, it might make you sense.

and, other reference application of Powertrain Blockset, e.g. this, might help you.

Thank You. Do i need to put a dc-dc converter between the battery and motor ?
