Modelon Release 2019.2

Hydraulics Library v4.11 is part of Modelon’s 2019.2 release.

New versions of Modelon libraries are sold and distributed directly from Modelon, as well as approved resellers.

Improvements

  • In the model Hydraulics.Restrictions.Basic.Templates.OrificeInput:
    • Documentation has been added so the different ways to parametrize the orifice are described.
    • Common equation of the if-statement has been moved out of the statement.
    • Smooth operator has been substituted by a max operator in order to avoid generating event in some cases.
    • In addition, the derived parameters Amax and Dmax have been renamed respectively Anom and Dnom – to better refflect the fact that these are computed from nominal volume flow rate and pressure losses.
  • The RelativeStates component within Modelon.Mechanics.Translational.SingleRodDualStop and Modelon.Mechanics.Translational.SingleRodSingleStop is removed, as the relative states are already available in endStopA.
  • The examples were updated to use the World component from Modelon Base Library (Modelon.Mechanics.MultiBody.World).

Fixed Issues

  • In the model Hydraulics.Valves.Basic.MeteringOriTwo, the documentation was clarified in order to specifically state that it models a valve with grooves on the sleeve.
  • The Excavator experiment is now more consistent with the listed reference.
