Hydraulic Utilities
The Custom Hydraulic Fluid block lets you specify the type of hydraulic fluid used in a loop of hydraulic blocks. It provides the hydraulic fluid properties, such as kinematic viscosity, density, and bulk modulus, for all the hydraulic blocks in the loop. These fluid properties are assumed to be constant during simulation time.
The Custom Hydraulic Fluid block lets you specify the fluid properties, such as kinematic viscosity, density, bulk modulus, and relative amount of entrapped air, as block parameters.
The Custom Hydraulic Fluid block has one port. You can connect it to a hydraulic diagram by branching a connection line off the main line and connecting it to the port. When you connect the Custom Hydraulic Fluid block to a hydraulic line, the software automatically identifies the hydraulic blocks connected to the particular loop and propagates the hydraulic fluid properties to all the hydraulic blocks in the loop.
Each topologically distinct hydraulic loop in a diagram requires exactly one Custom Hydraulic Fluid block or Hydraulic Fluid block, available with SimHydraulics® libraries, to be connected to it. Therefore, there must be as many Custom Hydraulic Fluid blocks (or Hydraulic Fluid blocks) as there are loops in the system.
Note If no Hydraulic Fluid block or Custom Hydraulic Fluid block is attached to a loop, the hydraulic blocks in this loop use the default fluid, which is Skydrol LD-4 at 60°C and with a 0.005 ratio of entrapped air. See the Hydraulic Fluid block reference page for more information. |
Density of the working fluid. The default value is 850 kg/m^3.
Kinematic viscosity of the working fluid. The default value is 1.8e-5 m^2/s.
Bulk modulus of the working fluid. The default value is 8e8 Pa.
Amount of entrained, nondissolved gas in the fluid. The amount is specified as the ratio of gas volume at normal conditions to the fluid volume in the chamber. The default value is 0.005.
The block has one hydraulic conserving port.
