ViscousClutch

ViscousClutch

From BeamNG

Description

The viscousClutch is a model of a fluid coupling, based on the clutch used in the original drivetrain code. It transmits a torque proportional to difference in rotation speed, always allowing some slip. The viscousClutch is used for compatibility mode, but may come in handy for some designs.

Jbeam Variables

Name Type Default Value Description
viscousSmoothing float 25 This is an arbitrary number which determines how much the output torque of the viscous coupling is smoothed.
viscousCoef float 10 The stiffness of the viscous clutch, in Nm/rad/s.
additionalEngineInertia float 0 Sets the inertia of the clutch in kg*m^2. This will be added to the inertia of the engine.
