across variables

Variables that are measured with a gauge connected in parallel to an element.

add-on products

Products in the Physical Modeling family that use Simscape platform and, as a result, share common functionality such as physical units management, editing modes, and so on. SimHydraulics software is one of the Simscape add-on products.

behavioral block implementation model

A block that is implemented based on its physical behavior, described by a system of mathematical equations. An example of a behavioral block implementation is the Variable Orifice block.

conserving ports

Bidirectional hydraulic or mechanical ports that represent physical connections and relate physical variables based on the Physical Network approach.

constructional block implementation model

A block that is constructed out of other blocks, connected in a certain way. An example of a constructional block implementation is the 4-Way Directional Valve block, which is constructed based on four Variable Orifice blocks.

data-sheet-based model

A block with a set of parameters determined by data that is usually listed in the manufacturer's catalogs or data sheets.

globally assigned positive direction

Direction considered positive for a model diagram.

nonrestricted parameters

Parameters that are available for modification when you open a model in Restricted mode. Usually, these are the block parameters with plain numerical values, such as Pipe internal diameter or Resistance area. Information on restricted and nonrestricted parameters is listed in block reference pages.

physical signal ports

Unidirectional ports (inports and outports) transferring signals that use an internal physical modeling engine for computations.

restricted parameters

Parameters that are not available for modification when you open a model in Restricted mode. You have to be in Full mode to modify them. Usually, these are the block parameterization options, such as Pipe cross section type or Interpolation method. Information on restricted and nonrestricted parameters is listed in block reference pages.

through variables

Variables that are measured with a gauge connected in series to an element.
