Network-Based Concurrent Engineering-Oriented Simulation Software for Hydraulic System

Abstract
This research presents network-based concurrent engineering-oriented simulation software for hydraulic system. With Browser/Server structure, the software is an integrated design environment which includes user-info management module, expert module, several fundamental hydraulic circuit sets, remote data acquisition module, and math-model-calculate module etc. Once requirements for some circuit are brought forward by a user anywhere anytime, the hydraulic system’s schematic drawing can be given. Then parameters of the element in the system are listed for the user to set. Besides that, all the worldwide knowledge and information can be shared, and users can get advice from each other or remote expert on this software platform. Results of practical application indicate that the system can be used to optimize resource from different places to improve the efficiency of product development.
