Powertrain and Brake Systems for Altair Driver
Powertrain
- Linear Torque Map Powertrain
- Driver outputs required: Throttle
Compatible drivetrains: FWD, RWD, 4WD
Drive torque = Min. powertrain torque + (Normalized driver throttle output) *(Max powertrain torque - Min. powertrain torque)
Dataset can be used to enter the data required by the powertrain.
Figure 1.Data Type Comment Throttle scaling Real Max driver throttle output - Min driver throttle output Max. powertrain torque Real Torque at drive joint at 100% throttle Min. powertrain torque Real Torque at drive joint at 0% throttle Transmission efficiency Real Output omega/Input omega of the drive train - IC Engine Friction Clutch Powertrain (Manual Transmission)
- Powertrain that models IC Engine and friction clutch.
Driver Outputs Required: Throttle, Clutch, Gear
Compatible drivetrains: FWD, RWD
Drive torque is calculated based on the throttle map provided by the user in the pwr file. It also have features like rev limiter, anti-stall controller etc. Use IC Engine friction clutch manual for more details.
Brakes
- Disk Brakes
- This system models the disk brake and applies an opposing torque on the wheel joints
proportional to the driver brake output. Read the disk brakes documentation for more
details.
Driver Outputs Required: Brake
Compatible drivetrains: FWD, RWD, 4WD
