Slipping clutch modelling

Select the Power Train > Transmission tab to view and edit the slipping clutch modelling options.

If required, a slipping clutch may be modelled. This is assumed to be at the generator end of the high-speed shaft. The clutch slipping friction should be entered, and any additional stiction which has to be overcome before slipping begins. The high-speed shaft inertia must be specified if the slipping clutch is to be used. The slipping clutch is not included in simulations of type "Campbell Diagram", "Model Linearisation" or "Steady Parked". This is because the transition from slipping and sticking is discontinuous and so the model cannot be linearised. For static analysis a slipping clutch will lead to a statically indeterminate system.
