Hydraulic control simulation

SimHydraulics from The MathWorks allows developers to model and simulate hydraulic control systems within the Simulink environment. It is integrated with the firm's products for physical modeling and model-based design, and enables engineers to develop applications such as flight surface actuation by performing multidomain modeling and simulation. The software provides engineers with the hydraulic building blocks to calculate pressure and flow through standard and nonstandard components. It includes capabilities to model and simulate the conversion of hydraulic power into driving torques and forces for mechanical motion, the effects of opening and closing valves, and simple mechanical components. A library of common hydraulic fluids is included. The tool enables designers to develop controllers and perform testing of the physical system model before it is implemented in hardware.
