Example 2: the 3 piston pump (case study)

The aim of this example is to describe how Activity Index analysis was applied to a complex multi-domain model of a real industrial system. It consisted of a 3-piston radial pump. The starting point was a very complex model which showed very fine detail but ran very slowly. The methodology was applied in order to produce a simpler model which ran much faster but which still included essential properties and dynamic behavior. Results and numerical performances of the original and simplified models were compared.

Note

Some of the elements used to create the model described here come from libraries (such as the Hydraulic Component Design library) not delivered in the standard Simcenter Amesim installation. Therefore you will not be able to reproduce the exercises (unless you have a license for this library).
