Multi-Domain Simulation: Mechanics and Hydraulics of an Excavator
Martin Otter, Peter Beater · elib (German Aerospace Center) · 2003
It is demonstrated how to model and simulate an excavator with Modelica and Dymola by using Modelica libraries for multi-body and for hydrau- lic systems. The hydraulic system is controlled by a “load sensing” controller. Usually, models con- taining 3-dimensional mechanical and hydraulic components are difficult to simulate. At hand of the excavator it is shown that Modelica is well suited for such kinds of system simulations.
