Package PowerTrain: A Modelica library for modeling and simulation of vehicle power trains

Kurzfassung

In this article a new Modelica library to model vehicle power trains is discussed. An overview of the elements within the library is given, such as planetary gearsets, laminar clutches, torque losses, driver, warm up model. The library is demonstrated through the discussion of two illustrative examples, for drive cycle fuel consumption prediction and for investigating gearshift transition dynamics of an automatic gearbox. Together with the Modelica simulation environment Dymola, this library is suited and used for HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) simulations.
