摘要:
A lock-up mechanism for a torque converter for an automatic transmission is arranged to be selectively engaged to directly connect the output shaft and the input shaft of the torque converter when the operating condition of the engine is in a lock-up zone. The operating condition of the engine is represented by a rotational speed signal representing the rpm of the input shaft or the output shaft of the torque converter, and an engine load signal, and the lock-up zone is defined by first to third relations, the first relation being preset from a relation which the rotational speed and the engine load are to have with each other when the torque ratio of the engine output torque to the torque converter output torque can be considered to be 1, the second relation being preset from a relation which the rotational speed and the engine load are to have with each other when the engine output may be considered to be zero, and the third relation being preset from a lower limit of the rotational speed at which lock-up can be permitted without possibility of engine stall. The lower limit is shifted toward the lower speed side of the rotational speed as the transmission stage of the transmission gear mechanism is shifted toward the higher speed stage, and the third relation is changed corresponding to the change in the lower limit of the rotational speed.

This invention proposes a simulation apparatus which can simulate by easily coping with changes in component and model. A simulation apparatus simulates, using a system model, the dynamic performance of a target apparatus to be simulated, which includes a driving source and is constructed by a plurality of units for transmitting the driving force output from the driving source, and expresses the target apparatus by functional and data models. The functional model expresses each of units that construct the target apparatus by exchange of energy by the dynamic performance of that unit, and a parameter which determines that dynamic performance. The parameter for each unit is computed using static characteristic data read out from a memory, thus expressing each unit as a data model.
