Clutch Force

Clutch Force Name

If creating a clutch force, enter a string to define its name.

If modifying a clutch force, enter the database name of an existing clutch force.

I Part

Enter the name of the I part on which the clutch force will act.

J Part

Enter the name of the J part on which the clutch force will apply the reaction torque.

Construction Frame

Enter the name of an existing construction frame.

Property File

Enter a property file suitable for clutch forces. You can enter a new property file name directly in the text box, or right-click to either search the chosen Adams Driveline database or browse for the file using the file navigator.

Clearance

Enter a nonnegative real number to define the clearance between the two friction plates.

Adams Driveline uses the data from the next four options to create the friction versus relative slip curve. See a plot of a typical Friction Versus Relative Slip.

Static Friction Coeff.

Enter a nonnegative real number to define the static friction between the two friction plates.

Dynamic Friction Coeff.

Enter a nonnegative real number to define the dynamic friction between the two friction plates.

Static Slip Velocity

Enter a nonnegative real number to define the velocity threshold at which the static friction becomes fully active.

Dynamic Slip Velocity

Enter a nonnegative real number to define the velocity threshold at which the dynamic friction becomes fully active.

Effective Friction Radius

Enter a nonnegative real number that defines the effective radius at which the resulting tangent force is acting so as to calculate the clutch torque correctly.
