As part of a project, I am modelling my university's formula student car on Simulink using the Simscape driveline package. I have followed the mathworks tutorials to create a drivetrain, and I am now amending the model so that it is a more accurate representation of my university car.
Our car is a 5 speed manual Honda CBR600.
I am starting off simple and then aiming to create a more complex model. I have parameterised the generic engine block to match the power of the car and calculated the car weight, etc. Now I would like to make the gear change more accurate. At the moment, when the gear changes, there is an instantaneous jump of about 5mph (as shown on the bottom of the graph about 5 seconds and 10 seconds in), which is inaccurate. I have studied the Mathwork examples, specifically the 'sdl_vehicle_manual_transmission' and 'sdl_transmission_5spd' to try and replicate that for my model, but it hasn't worked. I would like the model to increase speed upon changing gears without an instantaneous jump. What would be the next steps in order to achieve this?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
