Block Substitutions for Foundation Library Hydraulic Blocks

The hydraulicToIsothermalLiquid conversion tool replaces hydraulic blocks in your model with the corresponding isothermal liquid blocks. This table lists the Foundation Library > Hydraulic library and the replacement Isothermal Liquid blocks. For information on blocks from the Fluids > Hydraulics (Isothermal) library, see Block Substitutions for Simscape Fluids Hydraulics (Isothermal) Blocks (Simscape Fluids).

Hydraulic BlockIsothermal Liquid Block

Constant Area Hydraulic Orifice

Local Restriction (IL) with these parameter settings:

Restriction typeFixed

Constant Volume Hydraulic Chamber

Constant Volume Chamber (IL)

Fluid Inertia

There is no equivalent block in the Isothermal Liquid library. The conversion tool comments the block out. To preserve the diagram layout, the conversion tool places the commented out block in a subsystem and connects the subsystem ports to bypass the block.

The conversion tool also creates a corresponding entry in the Removed Blocks section of the HTML report.

For information on how you can model fluid inertia using the Pipe (IL) block, see Pipes.

Hydraulic Cap

There is no equivalent block in the Isothermal Liquid library because you no longer need to terminate unconnected conserving ports in your model.

The conversion tool comments the Hydraulic Cap block out, removes the connection line, and sets the Through variable at the port formerly connected to this block to 0.

The conversion tool also creates a corresponding entry in the Removed Blocks section of the HTML report.

If you used the Hydraulic Cap block to set the initial value for the Pressure variable, consider modifying the initial pressure value in the block formerly connected to the Hydraulic Cap block.

Hydraulic Piston Chamber

There is no equivalent block in the Isothermal Liquid library because you can model fluid compressibility directly in the mechanical converter blocks.

The conversion tool comments the Hydraulic Piston Chamber block out and creates a corresponding entry in the Removed Blocks section of the HTML report.

There is no equivalent block in the Isothermal Liquid library because you can model fluid compressibility directly in the mechanical converter blocks.
