Welcome back to the Physical Modeling in Simscape with Simulink & MATLAB blog series! In this session, we’ll take a deeper dive into creating a gear transmission model using Simscape blocks. By combining concepts of rotational and translational motion, you’ll learn to model and analyze gear and axle systems, essential in mechanical and automotive engineering.
This Simscape tutorial is a part of Skill-Lync’s Physical Modeling Course, tailored to help engineers and students master the art of physical system simulations. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced learner, this blog will guide you through building and refining complex models.
Step 1: Setting Up the Gear Model
1. Creating a New Model:
2. Adding a Gear Block:
Step 2: Incorporating a Wheel and Axle
To convert rotational motion from the gear into linear motion, we’ll use the Wheel and Axle block.
1. Adding the Wheel and Axle Block:
2. Configuring Parameters:
Step 3: Configuring Inputs and Outputs
To drive the system and analyze its behavior, we’ll configure inputs and outputs:
1. Adding an Angular Velocity Source:
3. Connecting Simulink and Simscape:
4. Adding References and Solvers:
Step 4: Running the Simulation
1. Input Parameters:
Set the angular velocity input to 100 rad/s and keep the default gear ratio of 2.
2. Simulation Results:
When you run the simulation, the linear velocity at the wheel’s periphery will be calculated as 25 m/s based on the gear ratio and wheel radius.
Experiment with different input values or gear ratios to observe changes in the output.
Conclusion
In this blog, you’ve learned to build and simulate a gear transmission system using Simscape. By mastering these fundamental blocks, you’re well on your way to creating more advanced systems.
To dive deeper into Simscape mechanical modeling, enroll in Skill-Lync’s Simscape Training, which covers everything from Simscape basics to real-world applications in automotive engineering.
