Abstract： The ship maneuverability and reliability are affected by the dynamic characteristics of the synchronization self shift（SSS） clutch. Aiming at the problem of being unable to consider the inner structure of the SSS clutch carefully and simply by Matlab/Simulink in traditional，the AMESim was used in simulation analysis. According to the analysis of internal spiral spline structure's contact stress and operating characteristics of the SSS clutch，a mathematical model was derived which is closer to the actual model. On that basis，the simulation model was established by AMESim. By comparison of calculated and experimental results，the real-time simulation results indicate that it is feasible for using AMESim software to model and simulate the SSS clutch and easier to consider the impact of structural factors on the dynamic characteristics of the SSS clutch.
