How to add Ploughing / tillage load in Simscape Driveline 2021b

In the event of creating a tractor model using the Vehicle body availavble in Simscape driveline (2021b ) I would like to add ploughing / tillage load to the body. This is for vehicle performance simulation

Hi Sastry,

From what I understand you wish to add load to the vehicle body in Simscape driveline (2021b)

To simulate the addition of ploughing or tillage load to the vehicle body in Simscape Driveline, you can follow these:

1. Create a Custom Simscape Component: You can create a custom Simscape component to represent the ploughing or tillage load. This component will model the dynamics and behavior of the load. You can create this component using the Simscape language or by using the Simscape editing tools.
2. Identify Connection Points: Within your custom component, identify the appropriate connection points that will interface with the vehicle body.
3. Connect the Load to the Vehicle Body: Once you have created the custom component, you can connect it to the vehicle body in your Simscape Driveline model.
4. Define Load Parameters: Define the parameters of the ploughing or tillage load, such as its mass, inertia, and any other relevant characteristics that will affect the vehicle's performance.

Attached below are the documentation links that you may find helpful:

Hope this helps!
