Cone Clutch

Cone Clutch component with extra outputs and added inertia to both sides

The Cone Clutch component is based on the rotational Clutch component and has two extra outputs for the power loss and locked state. Inertia is added to side a (flange_a) and side b (flange_b) via parameters Ja and Jb, respectively. 

Note: Please refer to 1-D Mechanical/Rotational Clutch for more information.

 

Geometry

The cone clutch is identical to the clutch component except for the cgeo parameter that is fixed to:

c__geo=13 sin α d__o3d__i3d__o2d__i2

-

Real output port for power loss. Power loss is zero when clutch is 'free' or 'locked'.

Reduce Branching

false

When true, simplifies clutch equations (by adding a slight compliance in the locked state) so they may be treated as a piecewise.  This has the effect of reducing the resulting code size (and formulation time) with generally little affect on clutch performance and behavior.
