Couplings and drives blocks represent power transmission elements and systems such as springs, dampers, pulleys, and drives. To model the dynamic transfer of torques and motions, connect these blocks together just as you would assemble a physical driveline system.
Model a time-varying inertia using a variable ratio transmission.
Model damping due to viscous friction.
Model random noise in a drivetrain.
Model and Detect Drivetrain Faults
Model faults that disturb drivetrains.
Best Practices for Modeling Pulley Networks
Lean about belt direction and using tensioners and inertias in pulley networks.
Troubleshoot Pulley Network Issues
Learn how to solve initialization and motion issues in pulley networks.
