The drive train consists of a motor inertia which is driven by a sine-wave motor torque. Via a gearbox the rotational energy is transmitted to a load inertia. Elasticity in the gearbox is modelled by a spring element. A linear damper is used to model the damping in the gearbox bearing.
Note, that a force component (like the damper of this example) which is acting between a shaft and the housing has to be fixed in the housing on one side via component Fixed.
Simulate for 1 second and plot the following variables:
angular velocities of inertias inertia2 and 3: inertia2.w, inertia3.w

This drive train contains a frictional clutch and a brake. Simulate the system for 1 second using the following initial values (defined already in the model):
inertia1.w = 90 (or brake.w) inertia2.w = 90 inertia3.w = 100
Plot the output signals

This example demonstrates how variable structure drive trains are handeled. The drive train consists of 4 inertias and 3 clutches, where the clutches are controlled by input signals. The system has 2^3=8 different configurations and 3^3 = 27 different states (every clutch may be in forward sliding, backward sliding or locked mode when the relative angular velocity is zero). By invoking the clutches at different time instances, the switching of the configurations can be studied.
Simulate the system for 1.2 seconds with the following initial values:
J1.w = 10.
Plot the following variables:
angular velocities of inertias (J1.w, J2.w, J3.w, J4.w),
frictional torques of clutches (clutchX.tau),
frictional mode of clutches (clutchX.mode) where
mode = -1/0/+1 means backward sliding, locked, forward sliding.
