11 MECHANICAL SYSTEM PROGRAM
(1) Block
The term "block" is one set of mechanical modules beginning after a virtual
transmission module (gear) connected to the virtual main shaft and ending at the
output module.
Refer to Section 11.2 for the number of mechanical modules which can be
connected in a single block.
(2) System
The term "system" is a generic term of multiple blocks connected to one virtual
main shaft.
The maximum number of blocks allowable in a single system is 32.
(3) Transmission module connections
There are 3 transmission module connection patterns:
• Pattern 1....... Straight connection to output (i.e. no differential gear).
• Pattern 2....... Differential gear connection directly connected to the output
module (i.e. no speed change gear).
• Pattern 3....... Differential gear connection with a speed change gear on the
output side.
