Member Function Documentation

◆ GetOutputTorque()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::GetOutputTorque ( ) const
pure virtual

Return the output torque from the powertrain.

This is the torque that is passed to a vehicle system, thus providing the interface between the powertrain and vehicle co-simulation modules.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChShaftsPowertrain, chrono::vehicle::ChSimpleMapPowertrain, chrono::vehicle::generic::Generic_SimpleMapPowertrain, chrono::vehicle::ChSimpleCVTPowertrain, and chrono::vehicle::ChSimplePowertrain.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChChassis chassis,
std::shared_ptr< ChDriveline driveline 
)
protectedvirtual

Initialize this powertrain system by attaching it to an existing vehicle chassis and associating it with an existing driveline subsystem.

A derived class override must first call this base class version.

Parameters
[in]chassischassis of the associated vehicle
[in]drivelinedriveline of the associated vehicle

◆ Synchronize()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::Synchronize ( double  time,
double  throttle 
)
protectedpure virtual

Synchronize the state of this powertrain system at the current time.

The powertrain system is provided the current driver throttle input, a value in the range [0,1].

Parameters
[in]timecurrent time
[in]throttlecurrent throttle input [0,1]
