Sun-Planet block Simscape. Can it rotate as rigid body when 2 members are locked?

Hello,

I'm trying to simulate a transmission design which has a carrier, planet sun and no ring. So one speed comes from locking carrier to housing and the other locking the carrier to the output (planet in this case) and everything rotates as a rigid body. The first gear with output by the planet works fine.

I tried several different option but the transition does not work.

Does someone have a hint on that?

Thanks,

Luiz

It worked fine for me. Attached is the model, below is a screenshot. Perhaps your clutch logic wasn't causing the second speed to engage.

Thanks a lot Steve, it worked here now!
