scdpneumaticlin

Get the Initial Simulation

[t,x,y] = sim('scdpneumaticlin');

Plot the Simulation Results

In this example, the supply pressure is closed and the system has an initial pressure of 0.2 MPa. The supply pressure is at 0.7 MPa and in the simulation the servo valve is opened to 0.5e-4 m. During the simulation, the pressure increases from the initial pressure of 0.2 MPa and eventually settles at the supply pressure.

plot(t,y);

Gathering Simulation Snapshots

To get operating point snapshots at various instants of the simulation use

op = findop('scdpneumaticlin',[0 10 20 30 40 50 60]);

The operating points are a vector that can be accessed using

op(2)

 Operating point for the Model scdpneumaticlin.

----------

The operating point is now ready for linearization. First specify the input and output points using the commands:

io(1) = linio('scdpneumaticlin/x',1,'input');
io(2) = linio('scdpneumaticlin/Cylinder Pressure Model',1,'output');

Linearize the model and plot the Bode plot for each condition to see the variability in the linearizations.

sys = linearize('scdpneumaticlin',op,io);
bode(sys)
