Tractor Model with Simscape

This project contains custom libraries, models, and code to help you model a tractor. You can evaluate transmission losses and visualize energy charts for a tractor. Tractor design is an important way to boost efficiency in agriculture. Developing a tractor model that interacts with the environment requires an accurate model of tire-soil dynamics that includes interaction of tractive elements such as tire and implement with soil, which is a complicated problem to solve. You can accelerate the development process by starting with a system-level analysis to evaluate the options. This project shows how to create a system-level tractor model using Simscape™, Simscape Driveline™ and, Simscape Fluids™.

This project contains a simplified system-level tractor model for tillage operation. You can define your own custom scenario and driver controls to analyze the tractor performance.

The project shows how to:

  1. Parameterize components using custom library blocks such as the Tire (Tire-Soil Interaction) and Implement blocks.

  2. Build a Tractor Energy Computation Model from custom components and Simscape and Simscape Driveline blocks.

  3. Perform Transmission Energy Charting and visualize the energy flow from the engine to the wheels.

Setup

  • Clone the project repository.
  • Open TractorSimscape.prj to get started with the project.
  • Requires MATLAB® release R2024a or newer.
