Hydraulic port terminator with zero flow
Simscape / Foundation Library / Hydraulic / Hydraulic Elements
The Hydraulic Cap block represents a hydraulic plug, that is, a hydraulic port with zero flow through it.
You can use this block to terminate hydraulic ports on other blocks that you want to cap. This is not necessary because if you leave a conserving port unconnected, the physical network sets all the Through variables at that port to 0. However, terminator blocks improve diagram readability.
You can also use this block to set the initial gauge pressure at a node.
To set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation, use the Variables tab in the block dialog box (or the Variables section in the block Property Inspector). For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.
