SIMPACK

Drive Line Selection 2 includes the following elements for driveline simulation: Cardan Shaft, Constant Velocity Shaft, Gearbox Synchronizing.

The Simpack Force Element Gear Pair is an efficient analytical element used for modeling contact between gear wheels. Spur and helical (internal and external), rack and pinion, and bevel gears can be modeled. The effect of micro geometries on meshing frequencies can be analyzed. The investigation of any non-linear behavior can be carried out, e.g. backlash, rattle, whine etc.

Simpack Belt is a plug-in for belt drive simulations. The model is based on a modal description of the belt, which includes longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Belt slip is modeled. The belt drive can be combined with general Simpack Modeling Elements, allowing users to e.g. include any type of tensioner system.

Shaft Coupling consists of the element Spline Coupling, which enables the user to model shaft couplings based on tooth contact with involute profile.

Shaft couplings are often used in order to provide for misalignment in torque transmissions.
