◆ SetModulation()

void chrono::ChShaftsClutch::SetModulation ( double  mm)
inline

Set the user modulation of the torque (or brake, if you use it between a fixed shaft and a free shaft).

The modulation must range from 0 (switched off) to 1 (max torque). Default is 1, when clutch is created. You can update this during integration loop to simulate the pedal pushing by the driver.

◆ SetTorqueLimit()

void chrono::ChShaftsClutch::SetTorqueLimit ( double  ml,
double  mu 
)

Set the transmissible torque limit (the maximum torque that the clutch can transmit between the two shafts).

You can specify two values for backward/forward directions: usually these are equal (ex. -100,100) in most commercial clutches, but if you define (0,100), for instance, you can create a so called freewheel or overrunning clutch that works only in one direction.
