Engines as sources of driveline motion

TheSimscape™ Driveline™Engine library provides blocks for combustion-engine modeling. You can model a single-cylinder spark-ignition and diesel engines, or a reciprocating engine that contains multiple cylinders. You can also model just the piston mechanism of a combustion engine using thePistonblock.

Simscape Blocks

Generic Engine Internal combustion engine with throttle and rotational inertia and time lag
Piston Piston mechanism of reciprocating combustion engine
Piston Engine Reciprocating combustion engine with variable number of pistons
