Hydraulic Cylinder Simulation

This is the first of three demos simulating hydraulic cylinders in different arrangements. The other two are sldemo_hydcly4 and sldemo_hydrod. Inputs to the hydraulic cylinder subsystem are the pump flow and the control valve orifice area. The model is organized as two subsystems - the pump and the actuator assembly. Right-click on the subsystems and select 'Look Under Mask' to see their contents.

A detailed review of the equations used in this design can be found in the white paper Using Simulink and Stateflow for Automotive Examples. Please note that this paper is based on an older version of Simulink and does not use all the newest block diagramming features in the current version of Simulink.
