New features and changes introduced in this version are

New Swash Plate Block

The new Swash Plate block in the Pumps and Motors library models a swash plate mechanism used in axial-piston machines to convert translational motion of a piston into rotational motion of a drive shaft. For details, see the block reference page and the new Hydraulic Axial-Piston Pump with Load-Sensing and Pressure-Limiting Control (sh_hydraulic_axial_piston_pump) demo.

New Porting Plate Variable Orifice Block

The new Porting Plate Variable Orifice block in the Pumps and Motors library models a variable orifice located between the piston chamber and a crescent-shaped slot on a porting plate in hydraulic axial-piston machines. For details, see the block reference page and the new Hydraulic Axial-Piston Pump with Load-Sensing and Pressure-Limiting Control (sh_hydraulic_axial_piston_pump) demo.

New Angle Sensor Block

The new Angle Sensor block in the Pumps and Motors library models an ideal angle sensor with measuring range from zero to 360 degrees. With the sensor probe connected to a mechanical rotational port, the output is a value between 0 and 2π, regardless of the number of revolutions performed by the probe and direction of rotation. For an example of block usage, see the new Hydraulic Axial-Piston Pump with Load-Sensing and Pressure-Limiting Control (sh_hydraulic_axial_piston_pump) demo.

Changes to SimHydraulics Demos

The following demo has been added in Version 1.9:

Demo Name

Description

Hydraulic Axial-Piston Pump with Load-Sensing and Pressure-Limiting Control
(sh_hydraulic_axial_piston_pump)

The demo models a test rig designed to investigate interaction between an axial-piston pump and a typical control unit, simultaneously performing the load-sensing and pressure-limiting functions. To assure required accuracy, the model of the pump must account for such features as interaction between pistons, swash plate, and porting plate, which makes it necessary to build a detailed pump model.
