Introduction
The AMESim Hydraulic library consists of:
•
A collection of commonly used hydraulic components such as pumps,
motors, orifices, etc. including special valves.
•
Submodels of pipes and hoses.
•
Sources of pressure and flow rate.
•
Sensors of pressure and flow rate.
•
A collection of fluid properties.
Hydraulic systems in isolation are completely useless! It is necessary to do
something with the fluid and also to control the process. This means that the library
must be compatible with other AMESim libraries. The following libraries are
frequently used with the Hydraulic library:
Mechanical library
Used in fluid power application when hydraulic power is translated into
mechanical power.
Signal, Control and Observer library
Used to control the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic component design library
Used to build specialist components from very basic hydraulic and mechanical
elements.
Hydraulic resistance library
This is a collection of submodels of bends, tee-junctions, elbows etc. It is used
typically in low pressure applications such as cooling and lubrication systems.
