Member Function Documentation

◆ GetCurrentTransmissionGear()

int chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::GetCurrentTransmissionGear ( ) const
inline

Return the current transmission gear.

A return value of 0 indicates reverse; a positive value indicates a forward gear.

◆ 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, chrono::vehicle::ChSimplePowertrain, and chrono::vehicle::gator::Gator_SimplePowertrain.

◆ Initialize()

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

Initialize this powertrain system by attaching it to an existing vehicle chassis.

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

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

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

Shift to the specified gear.

Note that reverse gear is index 0 and forward gears are index > 0.

◆ SetTransmissionMode()

void chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::SetTransmissionMode ( TransmissionMode  mode)
inline

Set the transmission mode (automatic or manual).

Note that a derived powertrain class may ignore this is the selected mode is not supported.

◆ Synchronize()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::Synchronize ( double  time,
const DriverInputs driver_inputs,
double  shaft_speed 
)
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]driver_inputscurrent driver inputs
[in]shaft_speeddriveshaft speed

◆ UpdateInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChPowertrain::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.
