Powertrain

About

  • NWH Vehicle Physics 2 uses a physically accurate solver based on torque and angular velocity.
  • Powertrain in NWH Vehicle Physics 2 is a collection of Powertrain Components such as EngineComponent, ClutchComponent, DifferentialComponent, etc.

Example of typical Powertrain setup for 4-wheel, 4WD vehicle.

  • Each component outputs to one or more PowertrainComponents, except for WheelComponent which always outputs to WheelController.
  • EngineComponent which acts as a power source and Wheel Component acts as a power sink. The components in-between determine how the power/torque will be transmitted.
