Modelling Automotive Hydraulic Systems using the Modelica
Actuation Hydraulics Library
This paper describes applications in the automotive
industry which require modelling and simulation of
hydraulic systems and introduces a new library developed
specifically for use in these applications.
Issues encountered whilst modelling hydraulic systems
are discussed, from the numerical issues of
simulating mixed hydraulic-mechanical systems to
the more practical aspects such as the availability of
parameter data for valve models.
Conclusions :
The ActuationHydraulics library provides a solution
for all automotive hydraulics applications, with connectivity
to other Modelica packages. Successful use
of the library has been shown for a number of applications
