5 MECHANICAL SYSTEM PROGRAM
(1) Block
The term "block" is one relation from the virtual transmission module (gear)
connected to the virtual main shaft to the output module.
Refer to Section 5.2 for the number of mechanical modules which can be
connected in one block.
(2) System
The term "system" is a generic term of multiple blocks connected to one virtual
main shaft.
The number of blocks connectable with one system is up to 32 blocks.
(3) Transmission module connections
There are 3 transmission module connection patterns:
• Pattern 1....... Without a differential gear.
• Pattern 2....... Without a speed change gear at the output side of the differential
gear.
• Pattern 3....... With a speed change gear at the output side of the differential
gear.
