Comparison study of two competing models of an all mechanical power transmission system

摘要

A comparison between two competing models of an all mechanical powertransmission system is studied by using Dymola –software as the simulationtool. This tool is compared with Matlab/ Simulink –software by usingfunctionality, user-friendliness and price as comparison criteria. In thisresearch we assume that the torque is balanceable and transmission ratiosare calculated. Using kinematic connection sketches of the twotransmission models, simulation models are built into the Dymola simulationenvironment. Models of transmission systems are modified according tosimulation results to achieve a continuous variable transmission ratio.Simulation results are compared between the two transmission systems.The main features of Dymola and MATLAB/ Simulink are compared.Advantages and disadvantages of the two softwares are analyzed andcompared.
