class suboptimumg.vehicle.powertrain.powertrain.Powertrain(vehicle_model)[source]#

Bases: object

Models the full powertrain, composed of a motor.

Parameters:: vehicle_model (VehicleModel)

swap_motor(new_motor)[source]#

Replace the motor, adjusting total vehicle mass by the mass difference.

Parameters:: new_motor (MotorModel) – Motor to install in place of the current one.
Return type:: None

Notes

Total vehicle mass is an independent parameter covering the whole car, so swapping a component cannot re-derive it. Instead the difference between the outgoing and incoming motor masses is applied to it, leaving the rest of the car’s mass untouched.
