A comparison between two competing models of an all mechanical power
transmission system is studied by using Dymola –software as the simulation
tool. This tool is compared with Matlab/ Simulink –software by using
functionality, user-friendliness and price as comparison criteria. In this
research we assume that the torque is balanceable and transmission ratios
are calculated. Using kinematic connection sketches of the two
transmission models, simulation models are built into the Dymola simulation
environment. Models of transmission systems are modified according to
simulation results to achieve a continuous variable transmission ratio.
Simulation results are compared between the two transmission systems.
The main features of Dymola and MATLAB/ Simulink are compared.
Advantages and disadvantages of the two softwares are analyzed and
compared.
