Summary:

Dual Clutch Transmissions have conquered an important fractionof the market, mainly in Europe, as a result of their improvementsconcerning efficiency.Once the power flow from engine to the transmission is notinterrupted, fuel efficiency increases radically. Furthermore,extreme fast and soft shifts provide the most dynamic and smoothacceleration of any vehicle on the market, being particularlysuitable on high performance vehicles. The drivers have alsoexperienced singular comfort, since they can choose whether tocontrol the shifting or let the computer do it automatically.Nevertheless, to overcome the elevated requirements imposed tothe system components, in special the release bearings, theindustry has dispended considerable efforts on the development ofnew processes and design methodologies.This paper focuses on design-oriented simulation of DCT releasebearings on a fully virtual environment, with the aim of definingnew approaches and calculation procedures within the early steps ofproduct definition
