Clutch Lock-Up Simulation

This demonstration shows how to use enabled subsystems to build a clutch model. Two enabled subsystems model the clutch dynamics in either the locked or unlocked position.

After running the simulation, a GUI opens. Checking any of the boxes on the GUI produces a plot of any of the following variables (versus time).

  1. Clutch Pedal input: The variable Fn in the MATLAB Workspace
  2. Engine Torque input: The variable Tin in the MATLAB Workspace
  3. we: Engine velocity
  4. wv: Vehicle velocity when the clutch is unlocked
  5. w: Vehicle velocity when the clutch is locked
  6. Locked Flag: 1 when the clutch is locked. Zero when unlocked.
  7. Lockup Flag: 1 at the point in time when the clutch locks.
  8. Break-Apart Flag: 1 when the clutch is unlocked. Zero when locked.
  9. Friction Torque Required for Lockup
  10. Max Static Friction Torque
