Abstract
The need for a rapid and easy means of analysing hydraulic control systems and predicting system performance became apparent many years ago. For any such program to be of practical use, it has to satisfy several basic requirements, which can be summarized as:
-
(1)
The ability to accommodate high-order system transfer functions, e.g. up to 15th order.
-
(2)
An automatic analytical optimization procedure to any given stability criteria.
-
(3)
Transient response to any given composite duty cycle.
-
(4)
Comprehensive graphics display and print-out facilities.
-
(5)
A database containing system data, component data and graphics display files.
-
(6)
Has been demonstrated to provide close correlation between predicted and actual performance
-
(7)
Is structured to be user-friendly, i.e. is written in a conversational mode, does not assume any specialized knowledge of control theory, all input and output values are in practical units, incorporates safety warnings in case limiting operating conditions are exceeded.
