This paper presents the construction of a heavy truck power-train model used to reproduce and analyze instability phenomena, sometimes called "surge phenomena". In many practical cases, the design or improvement of dynamic systems can be done using an experimental approach but it is often expensive, complex to perform, and time consuming. In these cases a numerical model allows quick sensitivity analysis on parameters and evaluation of suggested technical solutions. In this study the dynamic systems simulation software AMESim~R is used because it contains numerous specific model libraries that limit the development work necessary and is based on an advanced numerical integrator. Furthermore, AMESim~R has the ability to take non-linear effects into account and is able to mix discrete and continuous models in a single system.
