Driveline Modeling
Model construction techniques and best practices
Driveline modeling employs a physical network approach, where Simscape™ blocks correspond to physical elements, such as clutches, gears, and transmissions. The lines that connect these blocks correspond to the physical connections that transmit power. The resulting models let you describe the physical structure of a system, rather than the underlying mathematics. For more information, see Basic Principles of Modeling Physical Networks.
