Clutch Force

(Template Builder) Driveline Components → Clutch Forces → New/Modify Comprehensive Help
Defines a clutch force.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
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 database name of a part that defines the action part of the clutch force.
J Part
Enter the database name of a part that defines the reaction part of the clutch force.
Construction Frame
Enter the name of an existing construction frame that defines both the axis about which the clutch torque will act and along which of the clutch forces the torque will act.
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 Coefficient
Enter a nonnegative real number to define the static friction between the two friction plates.
Dynamic Friction Coefficient
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.
