Project 1

Aim: 

• Develop a double-acting actuator model using Simscape Multibody and Simscape components.

Objective: 

• The mechanical system of the cylinder needs to be built using Simscape Multibody library components / blocks, and the hydraulic system needs to be modelled using Simscape library physical components.

Theory: 

The following Cylindrical Model Schematic shows the three different configurations of the piston

Half Retracted, Fully Retracted, Fully Extended.
