Dymola 2015 FD01 Release Notes 45
3.6.8 Hydraulics Library
Hydraulics 4.1 is a major release with the following enhancements compared to 4.0.
Examples of enhancements and improvements:
• The documentation is now improved throughout the library.
o The information section (Hydraulics.Information) has been updated.
o Each main-component have detailed documentation of usage,
assumptions and extending classes.
o The information section for the templates (see e.g. Templates.TwoPort),
displays what kind of equations that has to added to classes using this
template.
• The package structure is improved throughout the library. Examples:
o A separate icons package (Utilities.Icons) is created with the most
common Hydraulics Library Icons.
o Mechanical components and actuators are now located in the
Utilities.Mechanics.
o The Visualizer package is located in Utilities.Visualizers.
o Many of the component and example names were abbreviations. Most
of the names are now changed to the full name.
o Many components were old and deprecated. They are now placed in the
package Utilities.Deprecated and will be removed after a year from the
release when they were put in the deprecated package. These
components are marked with a red cross and if they are used, a warning
message will appear in the message log. If the user wants to keep using
the component, it has to be copied to the local library. But they will no
longer be supported by Modelon.
o Basic components now have a different look. A grey thick dashed line is
placed around the components, to easily identify basic components.
o Pump and motor components are now merged and put into a new
package: RotatyActuators.
o The new component RotaryActuator represents the following pump
components: SimplePump, VariablePump, TabularPump and
PumpWithLoss the following motor components: SimpleMotor and
VariableMotor.
o The Sources package is now cleaned up and some components are
merged.
• A few new components, examples and features have been added to the library.
o An example visualizing usage of a Modelon Base Library (MBL) Heat
Exchanger, see Examples.ThermoHydraulicsGuide.HXTableEfficiency.
This is possible using the new adaptor component
Interfaces.ThermoFluidAdaptor.
o An example visualizing temperature rise in a closed system due to pump
losses, see Examples.ThermoHydraulicsGuide.ClosedPumpCircuit.
