Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Type

enum chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::Type

strong

Transmission type.

Enumerator
AUTOMATIC	automatic transmission (torque converter + gearbox)
MANUAL	manual transmission (clutch + gearbox)

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetCurrentGear()

int chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::GetCurrentGear ( ) const

inline

Return the current transmission gear.

A return value of -1 indicates reverse, 0 indicates neutral and a positive value indicates a forward gear.

◆ GetOutputDriveshaftTorque()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::GetOutputDriveshaftTorque ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the transmission output torque on the driveshaft.

This is the torque that is passed to the driveline subsystem, thus providing the interface between the powertrain and vehicle systems.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChAutomaticTransmissionShafts, chrono::vehicle::ChAutomaticTransmissionSimpleMap, and chrono::vehicle::ChManualTransmissionShafts.

◆ GetOutputMotorshaftSpeed()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::GetOutputMotorshaftSpeed ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the transmission output speed of the motorshaft.

This represents the output from the transmision subsystem that is passed to the engine subsystem.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChAutomaticTransmissionShafts, chrono::vehicle::ChAutomaticTransmissionSimpleMap, and chrono::vehicle::ChManualTransmissionShafts.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChChassis > chassis )

protectedvirtual

Initialize this transmission system by attaching it to an existing vehicle chassis and connecting the provided engine and driveline subsystems.

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

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::InitializeInertiaProperties ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Initialize subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the subsystem mass (m_mass) and, if constant, the subsystem COM frame and its inertia tensor. This function is called during initialization of the vehicle system.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.

◆ SetGear()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::SetGear ( int gear )

Shift to the specified gear.

Reverse gear is -1, neutral is 0, forward gears are 1, 2, ..., Gmax.

◆ Synchronize()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::Synchronize	(	double	time,
		const DriverInputs &	driver_inputs,
		double	motorshaft_torque,
		double	driveshaft_speed
	)

protectedpure virtual

Update the transmission system at the current time.

The motorshaft torque represents the input to the transmission from the engine system. The driveshaft speed represents the input to the transmission from the driveline system. This default implementation sets the driveshaft speed and the motorshaft torque from the provided values.

Parameters

time	current time
driver_inputs	current driver inputs
motorshaft_torque	input engine torque
driveshaft_speed	input driveline speed

◆ UpdateInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTransmission::UpdateInertiaProperties ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Update subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the global subsystem transform (m_xform) and, unless constant, the subsystem COM frame (m_com) and its inertia tensor (m_inertia). Calculate the current inertia properties and global frame of this subsystem. This function is called every time the state of the vehicle system is advanced in time.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
