Propulsion System Performance Simulation (PS**2) Computer Simulation to Evaluate Tank-Automotive Engine and Transmission Performance. A User's Guide

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA203264 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report describes how to use a computer simulation to predict the performance of Army Tank-Automotive equipment. The simulation uses engineering data to predict the gradability, acceleration and fuel consumption of vehicle propulsion systems. The engine, transmission and intermediate driveline components are simulated mathematically in order to provide an interactive capability. The simulation supports Tektronix 4014 terminals and can produce plots of simulation output. The output is also provided in a file which can be sent to a printer.
