New features and changes introduced in this version are
Nine 4-way directional valve blocks and one 6-way directional valve block have been added to the Directional Valves library, and the original 4-Way Directional Valve block has been modified, to enable additional valve configurations. For more information, see , as well as individual block reference pages.
The following blocks have been added to the Low-Pressure Blocks library:
Variable Head Two-Arm Tank block represents a tank with constant pressurization and volume-dependent fluid level. The tank has two hydraulic ports and a physical signal port, which exports the volume of fluid in the tank.
Variable Head Three-Arm Tank block represents a tank with constant pressurization and volume-dependent fluid level. The tank has three hydraulic ports and a physical signal port, which exports the volume of fluid in the tank.
Both blocks account for the fluid level change caused by the volume variation, as well as for pressure loss in the connecting pipes that can be caused by a filter, fittings, or some other local resistance. You can specify pipeline diameter, pressure loss coefficient, and elevation information for each hydraulic port separately.
The new Ball Valve with Conical Seat block in the Flow Control Valves library models a ball valve created by a spherical ball and a conical seat. The valve is characterized by the ball diameter, cone angle, and orifice diameter.
