Summary:

In its global development process General MotorsCompany-Powertrain follows a consequent "Road to Lab toMath" strategy, substituting road and laboratory tests withvirtual tests. Hence simulation increasingly becomes a centralaspect in the vehicle development process. With increasing accuracyof the single tools and a smart combination of different tools thecredibility of the whole simulation chain comes closer to testingresults.Furthermore the simulation gives us the possibility to changeearly and easily the product attributes in regard to functionality,robustness, comfort, et cetera The enormous product cost resulting froma high amount of different test samples can be decreased by anearly screening of the desired product functionality.Within General Motors Company-Powertrain a combined clutchsimulation approach is used which joins the simulation toolsMatlab/Simulink, LMS AMESim, Abaqus, Fortran, StarCCM+, NXUnigraphics to a powerful development process.A dry friction clutch is beside its main functionality, buildingthe connecting link between engine and transmission, often theweakest link in the complete powercube (P₃). The customerexpectations on the clutch system are that it is comfortablyoperable over lifetime under consideration of all known cases oftolerances out of the serial production
