Summary:

This paper presents a response to the question: Simulation - mathematical manipulation or useful design tool? A mathematical model of a modulating valve in a transmission control system was developed to predict clutch pressure modulation characteristics. The transmission control system was previously reported in SAE Paper 850783 - "Electronic/Hydraulic Transmission Control System for Off-Highway Vehicles". The comparison of simulation predictions with test data illustrates the effectiveness of simulation as a design tool.THE EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER hardware and simulation software has resulted in increased interest and usage of simulation for dynamic analysis of hydraulic systems. Most commercially available software is relatively easy to learn to use. The application of such software and the modeling techniques involved require a longer learning curve. Learning these techniques and becoming effective in simulation application is significantly enhanced by correlation of simulation results with actual system test results
