| + | ''PowertrainComponent'' is a base class for all powertrain components: ''EngineComponent'', ''ClutchComponent'', ''TransmissionComponent'', etc. | ||
| + | * All the ''PowertrainComponent''s have the following common fields in the inspector: | ||
| + | * ''Name'' - name of the component. Changing the ''Name''of a component will reset ''Output''on any components that are using that component. | ||
| + | * ''Inertia'' - inertia of the component. Inertia of each component contributes to the total system inertia. How much depends on the clutch engagement and current gear ratio. | ||
| + | * ''Output'' - ''Powertrain Component''to which the torque is forwarded. In cases such as ''Differential Component''there can be multiple outputs (e.g. left and right wheel). | ||
| + | [{{ :NWH:VehiclePhysics2:Powertrain:pasted:20200317-165205.png|Common ''PowertrainComponent'' fields.}}] | ||
| + | * Changing the ''name'' field on component will reset all the ''Output''s on other ''PowertrainComponent''s that use that component as an output. | ||
| + | * Increasing ''Inertia'' will will make the component spin up slower if the same torque is applied. | ||
| + | * ''Inertia'' of ''WheelComponent'' is calculated from ''WheelController''s mass and radius settings. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <wrap round important>''Inertia'' must always be larger than 0!</wrap> | ||
