Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a friction clutch in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle by means of a clutch actuator, comprising: transitioning from a running-in phase of the friction clutch to a post-running-in phase for the friction clutch based on a threshold, wherein the threshold is selected from a group consisting of energy input to the friction clutch, driving behavior of a driver, a number of clutch processes, and a number and intensity of slip processes for the friction clutch; operating the friction clutch using: specifying from a clutch model, a clutch torque to be transmitted and at least one set point value which produces the clutch torque; establishing a connection, with a nominal characteristic curve, between the set point value and the clutch torque; transmitting the clutch torque by the friction clutch; and, continuously adapting, using the clutch model, the nominal characteristic curve of the clutch torque;
