Motion Control System

HyPneu V9.0 is a program that allows the designer to develop a graphical representation of a hydraulic system. HyPneu processes the information in the graphical circuit and allows the user to assign specific components to the system, to run both steady state and dynamic simulations of the system, and display the results in a meaningful manner. Frequency and Thermal analysis add-on packages are also available.

HyPneu V9.0--Hydraulic and Pneumatic Analysis
Components Design
Use HyPneu's generic models (e.g., springs, dampers, mass, friction, orifices, load, etc.) to develop any component model desired without programming. In addition, you can create your own mathematical models to be used by HyPneu. Or, you may use a combination of the HyPneu models and your own models. HyPneu features permit this unique component design to be stored as a new sub-system. This sub-system can be enhanced through the addition of other components to form the system desired.
System Analysis-- Dynamic & Steady State
System designing is like putting a puzzle together. Using HyPneu, the vast majority of your puzzle pieces are at your finger tips. The building blocks available to you through this powerful software, make the task of system design enjoyable as well as comprehensive. Creative designs can be stored to form the basis for future designs to save an increasing amount of time and money. Solve big system design problems with a little computer
Critical Operations Analysis
The fear of overlooking crucial instabilities in critical operations can become a thing of the past by using HyPneu. An engineer's nightmare can be in the form of water hammer, limit cycles, unintended dithering, or end of stroke impact. Using HyPneu, these problems will be apparent during your computer analysis-before resources are used to build and install components.
Create your own Models
Make use of the super icon features to graphically create models without programming.
Use the proprietary HyPneu Scripting Language Interpreter (HPSLI) to formulate control signals and component models that are not included in the standard package.
Explore the flexibility that the HyPneu user's Model Add-on provides to the demanding model developer by using easy to follow programming procedures. The model you create will be in a DLL format that is upward compatible with future versions of HyPneu.

Thermal Analyzer
The ability to predict the temperature of circulating fluid at any point in the system, along with the temperature of the components in a hydraulic circuit at the design stage, are crucial to service assurance. Temperature that is either too low or too high will potentially cause excessive performance degradation and component malfunction. HyPneu can directly perform dynamic and steady state thermal analysis using any circuit created schematically. Not only can HyPneu evaluate pressure and flow in a fluid power system, but it can also assess the temperature profile of the fluid and components under any work cycle.

Frequency Analyzer
Frequency Response Analysis
In many systems, frequency response is a significant design consideration. With the introduction of HyPneu, it is no longer necessary to perform time-consuming and complicated (even unreasonable) mathematical model derivation. Now, all of these can be performed with a single key stroke without involving transfer function formulation. Certainly if a transfer function is available, HyPneu is perfectly capable of using it. Frequency analysis can even become enjoyable, not burdensome.
Frequency Power Analysis
The minimization of vibration and noise in the operation of a fluid power system is a very critical design and maintenance goal. The causes of erratic motion of actuators and vibration of connecting lines can be a nightmare to spot. Directly from the circuit schematic, HyPneu identifies these sources of noise and vibration using the Power Spectral Density (PSD) technique. This technique evaluates a signal such as pressure using a narrow band analysis swept over a broad band of frequencies. HyPneu is an extremely useful tool to assure a smooth and noise free hydraulic system.
