Challenge

Project 1

1. Developing a Double-acting actuator model using simscape Multibody and simscape 

Cylinder Model

Designing the Mechanical system of the cylinder using simscape multibody library blocks

Cylinder assembly

Piston rod assembly

Designing the Hydraulic system by using the Simscape library physical components

Now adding the two systems with a Translational multibody Interface

                

 NOTE:

Since i am using the Online MATLAB so i can't able to assign/edit the values for the blocks, Please consider my problem

Assumed values that need to change/edit/assign
