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__o3−d__i3d__o2−d__i2

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.
