Summary:

Construction equipment machines today benefits from hydraulic system due to high power density. And, the development of an excavator using "open-center system with spool valves", in general, requires iterative hardware design tuning activities for optimized performance and fuel economy while matching operator's commands. Instead of traditional hydraulic and multi-body dynamic simulation with an operator simulation model, this paper focuses on the methodology development of real-time simulation model for an excavator, including the hydraulic system of an excavator's boom, arm, bucket, and travel as well as multi-body dynamic system. The real-time capability is realized by reducing unnecessary compressible units and achieving numerical stability at sudden pressure changes when valves open and close.The real-time simulation model has been verified later with an actual Volvo CE excavator machine, and the correlation was quite satisfactory. Reaching real-time simulation of an excavator opens an opportunity for having it utilized in operator (or human)-in-the-loop simulation environment where a human can virtually operate an entire machine before any physical prototype is built
