Inertias and Loads

Variable and unbalanced driveline loads

TheSimscape™ Driveline™Inertias and Loads library provides blocks that allow you to model the dynamics of physical systems that contain elements that have an unbalanced load, a varying inertia, or a varying mass. For example, satellites that unfold solar panel arrays can vary in inertia, fuel tanks with progressively lower fuel contents can vary in mass, and a spinning axis that wobbles is an unbalanced load.

Variable Inertia Time-varying inertia specified as physical signal input
Variable Mass Time-varying mass specified as physical signal input
Unbalanced Load Load with angle-dependent rotational inertia
